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.
Man… the 30’s “Jane” was pretty hot.

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 over 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.
hat was the first thing that popped into my head. Not a good answer, granted, but what can a boy do?
