Korak and the Hunt 29 by jen-and-kris

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 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.

Korak has been captured and caged by Lee Leugenaar, who was introduced in "Korak and the Leugenaars".  He is a wealthy businessman and a neighbor of Greystoke Ranch in Africa.  Leugenaar is also insanely jealous and suspects Korak of having an affair with his wife Annie.  He has now arrived at his own, private island, where he intends to hunt the handsome, athletic son of Tarzan and to keep his stuffed body as a trophy.

This 40-picture series "Korak and the Hunt" was commissioned from four artists through DeviantART in 2017, 2018, and 2022.  One picture from the original artist is available here.

I was able to commission this installment last year and was hoping to commission more, but PayPal stopped doing business in their country soo afterwards.  

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.
