I have several Tarzan and Korak comics that I have been unable to locate information on. They all have a "W" logo (like Warner Brothers), were published by top Sellers Ltd. in Thurmaston, Leicester, Printed in Hungary, and Copyright 1975 or 1976 by Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc.
They all have the face of the character (Tarzan or Korak) in a circle located in the top left corner (where the DC logo appears for many DC comics). The printed price on the cover of each is 10p. Would appreciate any information regarding these comics.
Individual Titles:

Edgar Rice Burroughs KORAK Son Of Tarzan, No64, "Captured by Pygmies" (IMAGE ATTACHED)
Edgar Rice Burroughs KORAK Son Of Tarzan, No65, "Featuring the final chapter in our great Korak serial!"
Edgar Rice Burroughs KORAK Son Of Tarzan, No66, "The Spirit Thieves & The Secret Of Mount Kelawi"
Edgar Rice Burroughs KORAK Son Of Tarzan, No67, "The Medallion's Curse & Humans for Sale"
Edgar Rice Burroughs TARZAN Of The Apes, No.109, "An Innocent Princess Is Sentenced to Death"
Edgar Rice Burroughs TARZAN Of The Apes, No.110, "The Invisible Flame" (IMAGE ATTACHED)
Edgar Rice Burroughs TARZAN Of The Apes, No.112, "Goligho's Revenge"

These British comics are from Williams Publishing. More information on Williams that you may want is here
http://www.thewildstars.com/TarzansBritishHeritage.html

Mostly these are UK reprints of Dell and Gold Key 1950's comics with some new material.
I suspect the indica may still say "Tarzan of the Apes" even though the title says "Korak, Son of Tarzan"

Williams is cataloged on CPG here

BTW - apparently CPG could use the pics!

Thank you so much! I've submitted the Tarzan title scans for review, but was unable to locate CPG's Williams Publishing Korak title pages.

Did the printing information actually list title as "Tarzan"? - web was a little unclear - that was just my best guess.
