4.0 out of 5 stars Monster hit!, 27 Dec 2003
By A Customer
In this volume you get the ten issues of Paul Chadwick's ongoing Concrete comic book series for Dark Horse, and while at first glance the book has several comic book staples (man in a monstrous body made of rock), these serve only to obscure some highly effective writing and art. Chadwick is an accomplished artist who has also worked in movies, and his unusually fine and detailed artwork is a lush treat in a field dominated by caricatures. Here is an artist who uses photoreference to great effect. But more surprising yet is that this attentiion to detail is not to the detriment of the stories, which are about strong, subtle characters, their relationships and their aspirations. The main character, Concrete, an average man trapped in a body that can do fantastic things is particularly well-drawn (in both senses of the term). Although his rock body effectively alienates him from the rest of humanity, preventing him from taking solace in the pleasures of the flesh, his response to this is not the usual teenage angst of comic books, but a gentle, melancholic introspection that leads him to attempt other ways to reach out to those around him. Concrete is a magnificent achievement and sorely underrated - try it!
