Concrete TPB Volume 1: Depths
Written, Art & Cover 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 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 hitchiking trip.
Paul Chadwick's Concrete has won five Eisner Awards and three Harvey Awards. B&W, 208 PGS.

Concrete TPB Volume 2: Heights
Written, Art & Cover by Paul Chadwick
Big as a boulder and strong as an ox, he's Concrete, seven-feet of stony celebrity. That he's a
government-created cyborg is the cover story, but in truth he's the mind of one Ronald Lithgow trapped
inside a rocky shell of alien origin. Possessing powers allowing him to scale the highest mountain
unaided or peel back the roof of a car like a pull tab, he is yet denied the simple human pleasures of
fragile flesh.
The return of Paul Chadwick's award-winning Concrete has ushered in a resurgence of interest in the
acclaimed series that Harlan Ellison called "...probably the best comic being published today by anyone,
anywhere." This value-priced volume collects Concrete issues #6-10; Concrete Color Special, the short
stories: "World Beneath the Skin" and "Brighter," and a gallery of hard-to-find Concrete illustrations. 208
PGS. Black & White, 6" x 9" Format.

When you're seven-feet plus of walking, talking stone, you're bound to draw the media spotlight,

. but it does bring the occasional paycheck gig. When the producer of a low-budget science-fiction film

siren call of Hollywood draws Concrete like a moth to a flame . . . a seven-thousand-dollar-a-week flame,
that is.

destined to end in disaster . . . unless Larry can muster the courage to act.

Being a celebrity has its benefits . . . and its costs. Due to his status as the world's most unusual travel
writer-being a thousand pounds of walking, talking rock will do that-Concrete is approached by a group
of radical eco-warriors to see firsthand and write about their efforts to save old-growth forest. What
begins as a lark soon turns into a harrowing struggle, and Concrete must decide whether to
dispassionately observe or to join these people who would risk anything, even life itself, to save the
planet.
Called "the best comic being published by anyone, anywhere,"Paul Chadwick's critically acclaimed
Concrete is at once rousing fantasy and grounded reality, as thought-provoking and challenging as it is
entertaining.

Written, Art & Cover by Paul Chadwick
A troubled man seeking spiritual renewal in the wilderness experiences a wholly unexpected rebirth-as

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. B&W, 6" x 9" Format, 192 PGS.

The World Below TPB
Written by Paul Chadwick, Art by Paul Chadwick and Ron Randall
Fifteen years ago, from a hole in the ground in rural Washington, a tiny flying machine emerged and
Charles Hoy found it. From all appearances, this small vehicle wasn't built with any existing human
technology and Hoy made a fortune selling that technology to the first eager customer. Now with his
fortunes dwindling and his curiosity piqued with more than a decade of questioning, Hoy has hired a
team of adventurers to enter this vast, underground realm in hopes of bringing back even greater
discoveries. But while the team expects the unexpected and is prepared for danger, nothing they can
imagine will prepare them for The World Below.
With The World Below, Paul Chadwick-creator of the internationally acclaimed Concrete-delivers a
fever-dream hybrid of classic rip-roaring science-fiction adventure and quirky, unsettling psychological
drama. Chadwick's unsurpassed storytelling skill and eye for detail and realism make The World
Below a journey unlike any other. Rated 14 +. 208 PGS, Black & White, 6" x 9" Format.
