They were touted as the next big monster for the series during the Troughton era, but sadly the robot Quarks, servants of the deadly space-faring The Dominators, never quite made it to Who icon-dom - too cute to be thoroughly deadly, they needed a better overall story in which to be showcased. They'd continue to appear in TV Comic's of the time, though, and make a final 'rogue's gallery' appearance in The War Games.
Great cover art by Andrew Skilleter of the Quarks and their master, Rago (Ronald Allen, in a suitable creepy performance), for the well-adapted Target book release of the eighties. The art is available to buy as a print via Skilleter's online store.
