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.

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.
