Korak GK23
Mike Royer’s artwork is pretty good. In addition to providing his usual fan service by being a walking shirtless scene, Korak becomes a dude in distress in this story. Korak investigates a witch doctor’s hut with his troublesome friend N’kima. N’kima accidentally trips a booby trap which blows knockout gas into the jungle boy’s face. The youth is unconscious and vulnerable to the returning witch doctor, who intends to stab the boy to death. 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, he saves a danger-prone baby twice, rescues N’kima from a giant frog, and uncovers a witch doctor’s blackmail.
