Korak and the Aliens 2

 


















 

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.

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.  

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.

Angel Escapes by roemesquita

 











Luke Halpin is best known for playing Sandy Ricks in the 1960s television series Flipper.  Sandy had a pretty, boyish face, tousled mop of blond hair, and a slender, athletic swimmer's build.  He was often shirtless, dressed in nothing more than blue cutoff jeans and white sneakers.


After the series, Luke did not appear in many roles.  In my alternate universe, Halpin's agent found some additional roles for him.  In this picture, he is cast in the role of an angel.

Angel is now at the mercy of another demon.

Even at the beach, young Dorno faces adversity.
