1st printing. Concrete: Strange Armor (1997) #1-5.

Story and art by PAUL CHADWICK.

A troubled man seeking spiritual renewal in the wilderness experiences a wholly unexpected rebirth-as a walking monolith, half a ton of animate stone able to perform astonishing feats of strength and endurance but forever denied many of life's fundamental pleasures. As Concrete, Ronald Lithgow becomes an overnight celebrity and the focus of dark government operatives desperate to keep the secret of his metamorphosis from the public. Concrete must struggle with the loss of his humanity while discovering, perhaps for the first time, what it truly means to be human.

Paul Chadwick's award-winning Concrete has been called 'the best comic being published by anyone, anywhere,' and Strange Armor is the definitive origin story of one of the most original and moving characters in all of graphic fiction.

Softcover, 208 pages, PC/PB&W.

Written by Pat Mills. Art and cover by Christine Ellingham.

Sent home to Britain after her parents fail to establish a new life in Australia, Jean Everidge is forced to rely on family charity, moving in with her Aunt, Uncle and cousin Carol, successful gymnast, beloved of teachers and pupils alike, and all round charming "top girl."

Jean has one solace left to her - skateboarding, surfing the concrete pavement, while forgetting all her troubles, and feel free. But Jean's freestyling talent soon attracts attention, and if there's one thing Carol can't stand, it's being out of the spotlight.

With the new skatepark freestyle contest coming up, just how far will Carol go to stay number one?

1st printing. Collects Concrete: Think Like a Mountain (1996) #1-6. Story and art by Paul Chadwick. Concrete was just going to observe a group of Earth Firsters - to see firsthand what they were all about and to write about their efforts to save an old-growth forest. But that was before the group talked Concrete into illegally entering Canada, and before they 'monkey-wrenched' some logging equipment, and before the owners of that equipment unexpectedly showed up. Now Concrete has to decide why he's really here - to observe these people, who would risk lives to save the planet, or to join in their crusade. Softcover, 160 pages, full color.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Depths!" Collects Concrete (1987) #1-5. Story and art by PAUL CHADWICK. Part man, part...rock? Over seven feet tall and weighing over a thousand pounds, he is known as Concrete but is in reality the mind of one Ronald Lithgow, trapped inside a shell of stone, a body that allows him to walk unaided on the ocean's floor or survive the crush of a thousand tons of rubble in a collapsed mineshaft...but prevents him from feeling the touch of a human hand. These stories of Concrete are as rich and satisfying as any in comics: funny, heartbreaking, and singularly human. Depths, the first in a series of new collections collecting the classic early Concrete stories along with never-before-collected short stories, includes the Eisner-nominated "Orange Glow" and "Vagabond," Paul Chadwick's autobiographical account of a cross-country hitchiking trip. ? Paul Chadwick's Concrete has won five Eisner Awards and three Harvey Awards. Softcover, 208 pages, 6-in. x 9-in., B&W. Cover price $12.95.
