Surely one of the all-time great TARGET covers, Jeff Cummins' work on Terrance Dicks adaptation of the superb The Talons of Weng Chiang clearly and perfectly captures the tone and essential story elements of this Robert Holmes 1977 gem (the giant rat of the original transmitted story would finally look as good on screen, matching the cover art, by the time of it's 2020 Blu-ray release!).
I have always loved Chris Achilleos prior cover work, but I admired Cummins more adult sophistication just as much, particularly in capturing the darker and harder-edged styled Philip Hinchcliffe era for Tom Baker.
