Quark

In this three-issue prestige series from 2003–2004, writer Martin Lodewijk and artist Adri van Kooten bring a sharp, satirical sci-fi adventure to life. The story follows the titular character, a brilliant but bumbling inventor, as his creations inevitably spiral into chaotic, often world-threatening situations. Published outside the usual monthly grind, this compact run showcases Lodewijk’s trademark wit and van Kooten’s expressive, kinetic artwork. It’s a fondly remembered oddity for fans of European-style comics who appreciate a tightly crafted, self-contained dose of humor and invention.
