In retrospect it seems unusual that Dell would assign such a high profile and already popular character to a style much different than the newspaper comics. I assume, without really knowing, that Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., in licensing the character to Dell, would have had to have okayed Dell's choice to both write and draw the comic books.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-44216992354542720942017-02-26T03:47:47.951-08:002017-02-26T03:47:47.951-08:00Darkmark, thanks.

What I remember about Korak #1 was that I was glad he wasn't going to be called "Boy" anymore.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-50921961018234822672017-02-23T09:48:31.104-08:002017-02-23T09:48:31.104-08:00I must admit Jesse Marsh as a Tarzan artist is an ...I must admit Jesse Marsh as a Tarzan artist is an acquired taste because one is not used to a Caniff style aimed at the Jungle Lord whom we all have previously associated with Foster, Hogarth, Kubert, Buscema and Manning. However, Marsh's compositions in terms of balance between the black areas areas and the white areas remind me of Hugo Pratt on Corto Maltese. His rendering of animals is also quite excellent. As a result, Tarzan fans should all take another look at Jesse Marsh.Neil A.

And in KORAK #1, Jane comments that Boy wants to be called Korak. So...there you go.darkmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11144840493021306651noreply@blogger.com
