1. Korak: School for Slaughter Synopsis: In a strange jungle, Korak comes upon a girl who has been snared in a trap and is about to be attacked by a tiger with a unicorn's horn. After rescuing her, Korak is approached by a Greco-Roman nobleman and some light armored guards, who thank her and offer to reward him for saving his slave. Korak demands that Tirra be freed, and the guards set upon him and beat him senseless with their spears. He wakens in a prison, beside a black warrior named Alwyn. Finally the day comes for Korak to enter the arena, and his first challenge is a savage fish-man in a large glass tank of water. Korak dives in and evens the odds by breaking the glass. His next challenge is to box a bodybuilder with steel gloves, and he manages to best him also. Finally Zenno orders Alwyn to fight him but the black refuses, instead hurling his spear at Zenno and transfixing him in his loge. Guards rush out but quick talking by Korak turns the day into a victory for peace.
2. Korak: The Deadly Motion Picture Pt 3 Synopsis: Korak rescues Anne, Mike and the film crew from the giant man-eating plants by pouring the gas cans from the boats on them and lighting it. Afterward a Waziri runner comes for Korak, and when the son of Tarzan returns home he finds the Lord of the Jungle waiting to take him on an adventure to Pellucidar. Remarks: This re-formatted Manning comic strip reprint is continued in Tarzan #238. This marks the final issue of the comic as titled Korak, Son of Tarzan; the next issue it will turn into a giant size square bound comic called Tarzan Family (Starring Korak).
