Korak GK16
Warren Tuft’s artwork is fair. In addition to providing his usual fan service as a walking shirtless scene, Korak becomes a dude in distress in this story. While tracking a safari on an archaeological expedition, Korak and a friendly tribal chief are ambushed by hostile tribesmen. The unsuspecting jungle boy is struck on the back of his head with a club. The youth wakes up only to be taunted by the tribesmen’s plan to torture them to death, until they are helped by a friendly elephant. In this story, Korak comes across as a handsome boy scout in a leopard-skin loincloth. He has a good heart that propels him into action, often impetuously. Fortunately, he has strength, agility, and intelligence to back it up. In this story, after saving a boy from an army of red ants, he pursues an archaeological expedition which is gradually being taken over by an unscrupulous looter.
