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.

In January 1971, Korak, his mother Jane, and their group were captured in the desert by Pasha Ronchi and his men. The pasha was planning a revolt and suspected Korak and his mother of being government spies. The pasha brings Korak as a hostage for his attack on a train. When the attack ends in disaster, the pasha threatens to kill Korak gruesomely.

I loved this series, but I have some slight variations in mind for my version of the series.

The series "Korak and Pasha Ronchi" was commissioned from the artist TheRaytrix through DeviantART in 2022.  Eight 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.
