Korak in Sunday Tarzans (4/6/1969)

 

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.

As depicted in the comic books, pages, and strips, Korak has a lean, athletic physique, broad shoulders and thin waist, almost no clothing, a cute, boyish face, and full, thick hair.  He is also an intelligent, enthusiastic teen-aged boy with excellent natural instincts and a good heart.

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.

As the star of his own comic book series in 1964, Korak is a capable, young hero.  His adventures were somewhat similar to those of his father Tarzan, but independent from them.  

In 1966, ABC released the TV series Batman, featuring the frequently imperiled youthful sidekick Robin the Boy Wonder.  As a fan of seeing cute, young sidekicks in trouble, I watched every episode.

Russ Manning took over the Sunday Tarzan pages in 1968.  His Korak tended to have a tall, lean, swimmer's build.  While the son of Tarzan continued to have somewhat autonomous adventures, the slender, handsome youth seemed to be getting into trouble more frequently and more easily.  Moreover, in the Sunday Tarzan pages, Korak tended to suffer from more frequent comparisons to his legendary father. 

Previous to this week's adventures, while searching for his father at the edge of the jungle, Korak follows a herd of elephants into a hidden cleft where he discovers a mystery involving a glowing, red wig.  Later, after rescuing a trapped elephant, the son of Tarzan is ambushed, knocked unconscious, tied and taken to the ivory poacher's camp, where he is left bound and helpless in a supply tent.  After catching up with his son and making sure that he is safe, Tarzan follows the ivory poacher and discovers the glowing, red wig, which starts an elephant stampede towards the camp.

This week, Tarzan races back to the ivory poacher's camp to rescue his son from the elephant stampede but finds that the glowing, red wig, which started the stampede, has also stopped it. 

Korak remains in a supporting role this week, playing the dude in distress in need of rescue from the elephant stampede.  At least, his jungle instincts allow him to detect trouble early.

Fortunately, Manning's wonderful artwork contains some great shots of Korak in bondage.  Continuing his sidekick role as this week's dude in distress, the son of Tarzan continues to be eye candy, displaying his lean, athletic, shirtless body beautifully.

This week, Tarzan catches up with his son.  Korak remains bound and helpless in the supply tent, while his father roams around the camp, investigating the glowing, red wig and following the ivory poacher.

Korak returns to a supporting role this week.  Tarzan follows the ivory poacher while his son remains bound and helpless in the supply tent.

Manning's wonderful artwork contains a great shot of Korak's cute face and smooth, bare chest while he remains in bondage.

Korak is bound and helpless in the ivory poacher's supply tent, where the beautiful woman with red hair proposes that they help each other escape.  Fortunately for the son of Tarzan, he has another hidden ally.

Korak continues his hero role this week.  The woman with red hair uses her charms and beauty to convince our bound and helpless, half-naked teenage jungle hero to help her escape.  Fortunately, the son of Tarzan has alternatives.  However, I would have preferred to see Korak making a desperate escape attempt with a beautiful women, their recapture, and an angry poacher mercilessly using our jungle hero's cute, boyish face and smooth, bare muscles for target practice for his fists.

Manning's wonderful artwork contains some great shots of Korak in bondage.  Once again, the son of Tarzan's lean, athletic, shirtless body is beautifully on display.  The beautiful woman with red hair may not have succeeded in convincing our young hero to help her escape, softly caressing the helpless jungle boy's smooth, bare chest, but this viewer appreciates the attempt.

Korak continues his hero role this week.  In his boyish curiosity to discover the mystery of the glowing red wig, our young hero is ambushed and knocked unconscious by ivory poachers whose prize he helped to escape.  At the poachers' camp, Korak is bound and helpless before an angry elephant hunter who wants answers from the defiant son of Tarzan.  However, a beautiful woman with red hair uses a different tactic, using her charms and beauty on the half-naked teenage jungle boy to pursue an alternate agenda. 

Fortunately, Manning's wonderful artwork contains several great shots of Korak in bondage.  This week, our young hero's lean, athletic, shirtless body is beautifully on display again as he is helpless and vulnerable before both an angry elephant hunter and the beautiful woman with red hair.  Once again, despite some tough talk from the poacher, the viewer is sadly spared the sight of the shirtless, muscled, young son of Tarzan receiving a beating.  However, offering the boy some food and drink, the lady softly rests her hand on Korak's smooth, bare chest.

Korak continues his hero role this week.  In his boyish curiosity to discover the mystery of the glowing red wig, our young hero fails to anticipate the presence of ivory poachers nearby.  He is ambushed and knocked unconscious, rendering him vulnerable to the same ivory poachers whose prize he helped to escape.  The poachers tie Korak to a pole and carry him back to camp.  Then, they leave the boy bound and helpless before an angry elephant hunter who wants answers from the bravely defiant son of Tarzan. 

Fortunately, Manning's wonderful artwork contains several great shots of Korak either unconscious or in bondage.  This week, our young hero's lean, athletic, shirtless body is beautifully on display as he is helpless and vulnerable before an angry elephant hunter.  Despite some tough talk and raised fists from the poacher, the viewer is sadly spared the sight of the shirtless, muscled, young son of Tarzan receiving a beating.

Previous to this week's adventures, while searching for his father at the edge of the jungle, Korak follows a herd of elephants into a hidden cleft where he discovers a mystery involving a glowing, red wig.  Later, after encountering a tribe of ivory poachers and a trapped elephant, the son of Tarzan resolves to rescue the animal despite being badly outnumbered.  However, the glowing, red wig mysteriously reappears.

While the glowing, red wig scares away most of the ivory poachers, Korak frees the trapped elephant.  The glow disappears.  However, distracted by his curiosity over the red wig, our young hero is ambushed and knocked unconscious by the remaining poachers.

Korak continues his hero role this week.  After demonstrating his noble concern for the animals of the jungle, as well as his speed and bravery by rescuing a trapped elephant, the son of Tarzan makes another careless mistake placing him at the mercy of a known enemy.  In his boyish curiosity to discover the mystery of the glowing red wig, our young hero fails to anticipate the presence of ivory poachers who were not scared away from the scene.  He is ambushed and knocked unconscious, rendering him vulnerable to the same ivory poachers whose prize he helped to escape.  Unfortunately for Korak, these enemies are unlikely to spare the boy.

Fortunately, Manning's wonderful artwork contains several action shots of Korak.  This week, our young hero's lean, athletic, shirtless body is beautifully depicted as he tries to restrain his lion friend, as he rescues the elephant, as he is tackled and hit in the head by the ivory poachers, and as he lies on the ground unconscious and vulnerable at the feet of his enemies.

Korak in Sunday Tarzan (2/9/1969)

As the star of his own comic book series in 1964, Korak is a capable, young hero.  His adventures were somewhat similar to those of his father Tarzan, but independent from them.  

In 1966, ABC released the TV series Batman, featuring the frequently imperiled youthful sidekick Robin the Boy Wonder.  As a fan of seeing cute, young sidekicks in trouble, I watched every episode.

Russ Manning took over the Sunday Tarzan pages in 1968.  His Korak tended to have a tall, lean, swimmer's build.  While the son of Tarzan continued to have somewhat autonomous adventures, the slender, handsome youth seemed to be getting into trouble more frequently and more easily.  Moreover, in the Sunday Tarzan pages, Korak tended to suffer from more frequent comparisons to his legendary father. 

Previous to this week's adventures, while searching for his father at the edge of the jungle, Korak follows a herd of elephants into a hidden cleft where he discovers a mystery involving a glowing, red wig.  While investigating the mysterious wig, Korak carelessly falls from the cliff, landing on his head, and rendering himself helpless before the owner of the red wig.  Fortunately, she is attracted to the son of Tarzan and decides to spare the boy hero.

This week, Korak encounters a tribe of ivory poachers and a trapped elephant.  Korak quickly resolves to rescue the animal despite being badly outnumbered.  However, the glowing, red wig mysteriously reappears.

Korak continues his hero role this week.  Once again, he demonstrates a noble concern for the animals of the jungle, bravely resolving to rescue a trapped elephant despite being badly outnumbered by the elephant poachers.  Considering that our hero's youthful eagerness had recently resulted in his suffering a fall on the head, rendering him unconscious and helpless before a mysterious stranger who had earlier tried to stampede the boy to death, the reader can reasonably look forward to the son of Tarzan's getting into a difficult situation in the near future.

Fortunately, due to Manning's wonderful artwork, the reader can also look forward to Korak's looking good as he struggles through the troubles he encounters.  This week, our young hero's lean, athletic, shirtless body is beautifully depicted as he regains consciousness and then his senses.  There are also a couple of nice profiles and a splendid rear shot.
