Randy Hardy is an original character whom I share with the artist FranjoGutierrez at DeviantART.  Randy is a model whose brother Scott is an actor who played the role of Korak, son of Tarzan, in a Lara Croft movie.  

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.

Randy still believes that he would make a better Korak than his brother Scott.  At a costume party, GI Joe puts him to the test.

The multi-picture series "Korak and GI Joe" was commissioned from FranjoGutierrez through DeviantART in 2022.  All 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.
