Concrete (2005)

Summary

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 collections reprinting 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 hitchhiking trip. • Probably the best comic being published today by anyone, anywhere.,Harlan Ellison • Paul Chadwick''s Concrete has won five Eisner Awards and three Harvey Awards. • One of GQ''s 20 Graphic Novels You Should Read.
