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.
Hulk
is the alter ego of physicist Dr. Bruce Banner. Following his
accidental exposure to gamma rays during the detonation of an
experimental bomb, Banner is physically transformed into the Hulk when
subjected to emotional stress, at or against his will, often leading to
destructive rampages. He is the hero of his own Marvel comic books series, debuting in 1962, various animated television series, beginning in 1966, a live-action television series in 1978, and various television movies, starting in 1988, and feature films, starting in 2003. He was a founding member of the Avengers.
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.
The Incredible Hulk continues to find enjoyment in playing with the rich and handsome son of Lord Greystoke.
The multi-part series "Korak and the Hulk B by st00pz" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2021. Three are available here. Korak is a peak human teen-aged jungle hero, but he finds that he is helpless against a larger, stronger opponent with superpowers.
These
pictures are fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation
of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Korak. I introduced the
Incredible Hulk as a potential antagonist. These are original scenes and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.
