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:

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.
