1st printing. Collects Concrete: Fragile Creature (1991) #1-4. Story and art by PAUL CHADWICK. When you're seven-feet plus of walking, talking stone, you're bound to draw the media spotlight, especially when you live in Tinseltown. Concrete's celebrity status is sometimes a pain in the buttress...but it does bring the occasional paycheck gig. When the producer of a low-budget science-fiction film approaches Concrete to use his prodigious strength to help save money on the film's FX budget, the siren call of Hollywood draws Concrete like a moth to a flame...a seven-thousand-dollar-a-week flame, that is.

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?

Volume 1 - 1st printing.

Written by Gavin Hignight. Art by Jettila Lewis and James Emmett. Cover by Jenny Moore. Afterword by Gavin Hignight.

In a dark future Felix, Paulie, and Sera form an unlikely friendship, brought together by their addiction to the illegal virtual reality technology known as DREAMtech. Their use of the mind-altering device leads the three on a quest for the ultimate high: a mythical virtual reality program nicknamed BLACK IVORY, which is rumored to be digital nirvana. Without money to acquire the elusive software, the three turn to a crime spree that puts them on a collision course with authoritarian law enforcement, technology-dealing gangsters and ultimately themselves.

The Concrete World explores friendship, addiction, loss, obsession, love and the consequences of humanity pushing forward with new technologies. A story of three lost souls, so disillusioned with the real world, they'll do everything possible to escape into virtual one.
