What popped into my mind was “Korak, born Jack Clayton. But some fools of Tooks will probably say ‘Boy,’ whose primary purpose was to pretend that Tarzan and Jane weren’t having sex.” ---

Semi-tangent - for awhile at the National Firearms Museum in Virginia they had a display of movie weaponry - including one of the Johnny W’s rubber knives! ---

Korak. Specifically, I think of the painting on the cover of my older brother’s copy of the book. (Early 1970s vintage). I didn’t actually read the book until a couple of years ago, but that painting fixed the image in my mind. ---

I didn’t actually read the book until a couple of years ago, but that painting fixed the image in my mind. Just as a side issue, does anybody know one way or the other which came first, ERB’s Korak or Eastman’s Kodak? Wikipedia appears to give the edge to [Eastman Kodak](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodak) over [Tarzan](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarzan) by as much as 20 years. ---

Korak, because I was introduced to the whole Tarzan mythos by the Gold Key comics series. I suspect that this is one of those cultural litmus tests like whether you call [Popeye’s nemesis Bluto or Brutus.](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1548/is-popeyes-nemesis-named-bluto-or-brutus) ---
