Korak is the Honorable Jack Clayton, son of English Lord John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke, also known as Tarzan, lord of the jungle.  He is the hero of a 1915/6 magazine serial and 1917 novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs and a 1920 silent movie serial, as well as a character in several other Tarzan stories from 1914 to 1924.  He experienced a revival in 1964 as the star of his own comic book series and as a major character in various Tarzan comic books, pages, and strips from 1966 to 1978.

Spiderman is the alias of Peter Parker, the orphaned nephew of Ben and May Parker of New York City.  Having acquired superpowers when he was bitten by a radioactive spider, he is the hero of his own Marvel comic books series, debuting in 1962, various animated television series, beginning in 1967, a live-action television series in 1978, and various films, starting in 2002.

Korak strives to emulate the heroics of his legendary father but lacks his strength, maturity and experience.  Therefore, he is more likely to enter into dangerous situations and more vulnerable to being defeated.

This multi-picture series was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2021.  Six pictures are available here.

These pictures are fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Korak.  These are original scenes and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.

Scott Hardy is an original character whom I share with the artist FranjoGutierrez at DeviantART.  Scott is an actor who played the role of Korak, son of Tarzan, in a Lara Croft movie.  

Korak is the Honorable Jack Clayton, son of English Lord John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke, also known as Tarzan, lord of the jungle.  He is the hero of a 1915/6 magazine serial and 1917 novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs and a 1920 silent movie serial, as well as a character in several other Tarzan stories from 1914 to 1924.  He experienced a revival in 1964 as the star of his own comic book series and as a major character in various Tarzan comic books, pages, and strips from 1966 to 1978.

Lara Croft is the main protagonist of the video-game franchise Tomb Raider.  She is a highly intelligent, athletic, and beautiful English archaeologist who ventures into ancient tombs and hazardous ruins around the world.  She starred in big-budget blockbuster films in 2001, 2003, and 2018.  
 
In the previous movie, the son of Tarzan served as Lara Croft's handsome sidekick.  Korak is now ready to embark on his own adventures.  

In this series, the son of Tarzan is introduced to the champ and his girlfriend on a safari to take pictures in Africa.  In previous blogs, Korak rejects the amorous advances of the champion's girlfriend, but the champ reacts to being told that Korak was the aggressor.  Fortunately, in this blog,
Lara was in the neighborhood and thought that she would visit.

The multi-picture series "Korak and the Champ" was commissioned from FranjoGutierrez through DeviantART in 2021.  Four pictures are available here.

This picture is fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Korak.  This is an original scene and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.

Dorno and the Mindbender 3

Dorno and the Mindbender 9 by roemesquita

Dorno is the son of Zandor, leader of the Herculoids, and his wife Tara, a family of three humans and their five very powerful pet creatures defending their jungle planet.  The Herculoids were the subjects of an American animated television series, which debuted in 1967 and was revived in 1981 on CBS and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions.

The multi-part series "Dorno and the Mindbender by roemesquita" was one that I commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2021.  Three pictures are included here.

It was inspired by an episode from the second season in 1981.  In "Mindbender", Dorno releases an ancient being from a sleep chamber and returns his amulet.  However, the ancient being is called a Mindbender, was purposely imprisoned in the sleep chamber, and derives telekinetic powers from the amulet.  The Mindbender shows his appreciation by creating a hole and dropping Dorno in it.  Rescued by Gloop and Gleep, the son of Zandor attempts to steal the amulet from the Mindbender.  However, the boy is caught and about to be destroyed.  Fortunately, Zandor distracts Mindbender long enough for Dorno to escape.  This is a whimsical depiction of a different encounter, playing off the Mindbender's stated appreciation of Tara's "spirit".  

Dorno rushes to his mother's defense, causing the Mindbender to have shifted his attention to another spirited Herculoids.

These pictures are fan art and primarily intended to raise interest in the Herculoids and Dorno.  These are original scenes and did not appear in any movies, television series or any other derivative media.

Korak is the Honorable Jack Clayton, son of English Lord John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke, also known as Tarzan, lord of the jungle.  He is the hero of a 1915/6 magazine serial and 1917 novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs and a 1920 silent movie serial, as well as a character in several other Tarzan stories from 1914 to 1924.  He experienced a revival in 1964 as the star of his own comic book series and as a major character in various Tarzan comic books, pages, and strips from 1966 to 1978.

Korak strives to emulate his legendary father but lacks his strength, maturity and experience.  Therefore, he is both more likely to enter into dangerous situations and more vulnerable to being defeated.

Korak helps his friend Ab overthrow Ta-lur's leadership and cult of human sacrifices.  However, when the son of Tarzan grows suspicious of Ab's girlfriend Pan-at-za, our young hero finds himself sold to the Tor-o-dons as a slave.  This series is based upon a astory on the following 1969-1970 Daily Tarzan pages, which I reviewed:

https://korakreviews.blogspot.com/2021/05/korak-in-daily-tarzan-12291969-131970.html

Personally, I would have preferred a more detailed depiction of the process of binding and tying of the beautiful son of Tarzan to the pole. I would like this series to correct that.

The series "Korak Tied to a Pole" was commissioned from the artist TheRaytrix through DeviantART in 2021.  Four pictures are available here. 

These pictures are fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Korak.  These are original scenes and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.
