Concrete Volume 6: Strange Armor (v. 6)
A decade after creating Concrete, a mild-mannered man transformed by aliens into a massive, granitic being, Chadwick retells the character's origin in a screenplay Chadwick devised for an abortive movie. Here Chadwick stretches out and shows his maturity as both writer and illustrator. Unfortunately, the colors of the original 1998 comic books are supplanted by gray tones, making this edition affordable but drabber. Ten additional stories include one in which Concrete "meets his maker," as Chadwick visibly steps in to offer his long-suffering creation a moment's respite.Gordon FlaggCopyright © American Library Association.
