Matthew Friend is a new OC of mine and roemesquita at DeviantART.  Matthew is a 13-year-old actor playing Tarzan boy in a television series.  Tarzan boy is heroic, noble, and unusually capable for his age.  However, Matthew is arrogant, selfish, cocky, and immature.

Matthew has found that he has developed a fan base from his role as Tarzan boy, but he has also found that he has his share of haters too.

"Matthew as Tarzan Boy" is a multi-part series which was commissioned from roemesquita through DeviantART in 2021 and 2022.  Five pictures are available here.

Korak and Tarzan by 09tuf

 

Korak and Tarzan by 09tuf

Tarzan is the English Lord John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke.  He is the hero of a series of novels, beginning in 1914, written by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, and a series of movies, beginning in 1918.  He is most memorably portrayed on film by former Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller, beginning in 1932, and on television by Ron Ely, beginning in 1966.  However, my favorite depiction was in the Filmation animated television series beginning in 1976.

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.

This picture "Korak and Tarzan" was a gift from 09tuf through DeviantART in 2021.  

These pictures are fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs characters Korak and Tarzan.  This is an original scene and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip or in any other derivative material.

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 and 2022.  Two alternate scenes 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.

Robin the Boy Wonder is the eager, youthful sidekick of Batman, the Caped Crusader, the vigilante crime-fighting alias of millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne.  Introduced in 1940 as orphaned acrobat Dick Grayson in the DC comic book series Batman, Robin was played by Burt Ward in the 1966 television series on ABC.

I am looking forward to commissioning a series of pictures of Robin the Boy Wonder in whimsical variations based upon episodes of the 1960s television series.

However, let's first match the Boy Wonder against my favorite Korak, the son of Tarzan.

This multi-part series "Korak and Robin" was commissioned from 09tuf through DeviantART in 2021.  Twelve scenes in two pages and one additional picture are available here.  

These pictures are fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Korak, as well as Burt Ward's portrayal of Robin in the 1966 television series "Batman".  These are original scenes and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip or in the movie, the television series, or any other derivative material.
