Who is Korak?

Jack Clayton is the son of Tarzan and Jane, raised amid the African wilderness where he developed exceptional jungle skills. Known as Korak the Killer, he carved out his own heroic identity following in his legendary father's footsteps.

Few characters can claim a Golden Age debut alongside the King of the Jungle himself — Korak first swung into comics in 1950, introduced by the legendary Jesse Marsh in Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan #14. Sharing pages with Tarzan, Jack Clayton, and John Clayton across a remarkable span stretching nearly seven decades, Korak occupies a fascinating corner of the vast Burroughs comics universe. His appearances across beloved collections like Tarzan: The Complete Russ Manning Newspaper Strips and the storied Menomonee Falls Gazette speak to a legacy that endures well beyond his Golden Age roots. For fans who love deep dives into the rich, sprawling world built around Burroughs' immortal jungle mythology, Korak is absolutely worth seeking out.
