Korak Too by FranjoGutierrez

 






















Scott Hardy is an original character whom I share with the artist FranjoGutierrez at DeviantART.  Scott is an actor who played the role of Korak, son of Tarzan.  

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.

Scott gets a note from his producer inviting him to her office.  Apparently, participating at the meeting is not optional. 

The multi-picture series "Korak Too" was commissioned from FranjoGutierrez through DeviantART in 2024.  Twenty-one 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.

Korak's Friend by roemesquita

 






 

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 this series, Korak finds a new friend.

The multi-picture series "Korak's Friend by roemesquita" was commissioned from the artist through DeviantART in 2024.  Five pictures are available here. 

These pictures are fan art and are intended to promote the appreciation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Korak.  These are original scenes and did not appear in the book series, the movie series, or any other derivative material.

Dorno in Nightmare on Elm Street

 























Dorno is the son of Zandor, leader of the Herculoids, and his wife Tara, a family of three humans and their five very powerful pet creatures defending their jungle planet.  The Herculoids were the subjects of an American animated television series, which debuted in 1967 and was revived in 1981 on CBS and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions.

With the cancellation of the Herculoids, I am imagining that Dorno's agent is keeping him busy with roles in various horror films.  This one is Nightmare on Elm Street with Freddie Krueger.

The multi-part series "Dorno in It by roemesquita" was one that I commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2024.  Nineteen pictures of this series are included here.

These pictures are fan art and primarily intended to raise interest in the Herculoids and Dorno.  These are original scenes and did not appear in any movies, television series or any other derivative media.

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.

In this series, Korak is captured by a trio of aliens, examined and released.  Fortunately, the young jungle hero has a rescuer.

The series "Korak and the Aliens by st00pz" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2023.  Five pictures are available here.
