Quark

Born from one of Marvel's most visually ambitious projects, Quark steps onto the page in the 1988 prestige-format miniseries Havok & Wolverine: Meltdown — a Copper Age gem brought to life by the remarkable creative quartet of Walter Simonson, Louise Simonson, Jon J. Muth, and Kent Williams. Sharing that gorgeously painted world with the likes of Wolverine, Alex Summers, General Meltdown, and Doctor Neutron, Quark is a character embedded in one of Marvel's most striking artistic experiments of the era. With only a handful of appearances, they remain a rare and intriguing figure — the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes flipping through a long box so rewarding.
