Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Korak, the son of Tarzan, launched at the end of March in a new, digital adventure strip written by Witchblade artist Ron Marz and drawn by veteran Spider-Man 2099 artist Rick Leonardi.”One of the first comics I remember getting as a kid was the second issue of the Korak series from DC,” said Marz, who recently launched a strip based Edgar Rice Burroughs’ The Mucker as well. “That cover of Korak fighting a huge crocodile made a lasting impression on me. I was fascinated that Tarzan had a son – and he was wholly different than the little kid I knew from the movies. I’m utterly thrilled to be able to tell new Korak stories very much in the mold of what Edgar Rice Burroughs intended for the son of his most famous creation.”Though many of the entries in MGM’s Tarzan movie series featured an adopted son called “Boy,” the character bore only a passing resemblance to Korak, who was written by Burroughs as the biological offspring of Tarzan and Jane.
