Description“Concrete: Strange Armor #4 (Cover)” (1998)by Paul Chadwick (1957-) 9 x 13 in., pastels on paper Following about 12 years after the initial publication of Concrete, this 5-issue series retells and details how Ronald Lithgow, speechwriter, became Concrete (Dec 1997 – May 1998). Concrete’s first appearance was in Dark Horse Presents #1 (July, 1986). The central character is a normal man whose brain was transplanted into a large, stone body by aliens, and who lives an extraordinary life on Earth following his escape. A “what if” science fiction story, the narrative follows the real-life consequences of a man being in this extraordinary situation. The hero tries to use his body for noble endeavors.

I've never read Concrete, but after seeing this "rock solid" image (pun intended) and your explanation I am going to see if I can get my hands on it.

I highly recommend it, and I think all the collected volumes are still in print. Strange Armor is actually a nice one to start with. It's hard to believe it came out over 20 years ago.

Beautiful cover. This series was so great
Maybe this little posting will stir a little interest in a few young people not even aware of the series?

Gorgeous cover.
CONCRETE is one of the best written/illustrated comics ever done. It should be on everyone's "MUST READ" list!

Dang, that's a great image of Concrete!
I was reading the series all along, and was struck by just the 'gentle sanity' of the entire run.

We could use a little gentle sanity in 2019.
