The son of the jungle lord gets his own title, in this beautiful, imaginative spinoff from longtime Tarzan writer Gaylord DuBois and fan-favorite artist Russ Manning! In the first of two volumes collecting Manning's complete run on the series, Tarzan and Jane's son, Boy, takes the name Korak - in the language of the apes, The Killer' - alongside his chimpanzee sidekick Pahkut, and begins to carve out his own legend among the creatures of Africa.'

January, 1964 saw the premiere of the new ongoing comic Korak, Son of Tarzan. The series ran for 46 issues under the Gold Key banner and then another 13 issues after DC acquired the Tarzan license. Numerous artists drew the series including Dan Spiegle, Frank Thorne, Murphy Anderson, Joe Kubert, and most notably Russ Manning.
Later gaining acclaim as a Tarzan comic and strip artist as well as the creator of the legendary Magnus, Robot Fighter, Manning illustrated the initial 12 issues of the Gaylord Dubois-penned Korak title. With Korak, Son of Tarzan Archives Volume One, Dark Horse collects the first six issues of the enjoyable series.
In his foreword, Steve Rude says this about Manning: "He had an open, uncluttered art style that provided breathing room for your imagination and invited you to relax and prepare for a good time. It would be a challenge to feel any other way, so deliberate was his aim to entertain and make readers feel good." His thoughts also sum up the entirety of this hardcover collection. Behind the unenlightened treatment of tribal people (in the world of Tarzan and Korak, white people are inherently smarter than the apes and the dark "savages" of the continent), these stories are just plain fun. Dubois slow pace and often wacky concepts allow the reader to bask in Manning's simple, clean lines and superior storytelling. The inclusion of Morris Gollub's lush cover paintings further enhance the package. ( )
