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.

Apparently, while Korak was still in Pal-ul-don, a revolutionary named Auric Head captured Tarzan and Jane and wanted to put them on trial for crimes against the people.  However, Head was defeated and apparently managed to escape to Pal-ul-don.  He was able to gain control of the Tor-o-don tribe to which Korak was sold as a slave. This series follows up on a story on the following 1969-1970 Daily Tarzan pages, which I reviewed:

Personally, I believe that Auric Head would have noticed Korak, either would have guessed or been suspicious that he was the son of Tarzan, and would attempt to visit upon the young hero the "sins" of his father.

The series "Korak and the Tor-o-don Chief" was commissioned from the artist TheRaytrix through DeviantART in 2021 and 2022.  Three 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.
