One of the medium's all-time greats is back in this collection of Concrete stories from the relaunched Dark Horse Presents! In three new adventures, the most human of heroes intervenes in a burglary that turns out to be much more, investigates a possible sighting of the aliens who gave him his rocky body, and develops an alternative to the Taser: himself. This issue strikes the perfect balance of inviting stories for new readers and character development for longtime fans!

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.

When you're seven-feet plus of walking, talking stone, you're bound to draw the media spotlight, especially when you live in Tinseltown. Concrete's celebrity status is sometimes a pain in the buttress . . . but it does bring the occasional paycheck gig. When the producer of a low-budget science-fiction film approaches Concrete to use his prodigious strength to help save money on the film's FX budget, the siren call of Hollywood draws Concrete like a moth to a flame . . . a seven-thousand-dollar-a-week flame, that is. • Concrete is a multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winner. • 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 the Eisner Award-winning series Fragile Creature, along with bonus short stories 'Litlle Pushes,' 'Fire at Twilight,' 'Byrdland's Secret,' 'The Artistic Impulse,' 'Burning Brightly, Brightly,' 'Next Best,' and 'The Gray Embrace'

Standing in the shadow of celebrity has its ups and downs, as Concrete's personal assistant, Larry Munro, knows all too well. But there are darker places than any shadow, as Larry learns the hard way when he is taken hostage by a psychotic gunman who forces Larry to be his chauffeur on a road trip destined to end in disaster . . . unless Larry can muster the courage to act. The return of Paul Chadwick's award-winning Concrete has ushered in a resurgence of interest in the acclaimed series, and Killer Smile is Chadwick's darkest Concrete work, a harrowing tale Frank Miller called 'edge-of-your-seat suspense, full of unpredictable twists and turns.' This value-priced volume collects Killer Smile plus bonus short stories. • This volume contains Killer Smile #1-4, short stories 'Under the Desert Stars,' 'Four-Wheeled Sleeping Pill,' 'King of the Early Evening,' 'Enough World,' 'Family Night,' 'American Christmas,' and '100 Horrors.' • Paul Chadwick has won multiple Eisner and Harvey awards for his creation. • Value-priced at $12.95 for 184 pages!

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. Think Like a Mountain collects the 1996 Parents' Choice Award winning series along with bonus short stories, some collected here for the first time.

A troubled man seeking spiritual renewal in the wilderness experiences a wholly unexpected rebirth-as a walking monolith, half a ton of animate stone able to perform astonishing feats of strength and 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. • 'A powerful, emotional story . . . If you're not reading Concrete, you should be.' -Sci-Fi Universe • Paul Chadwick's award-winning Concrete has been called 'the best comic being published by anyone, anywhere,' and Strange Armor is the definitive origin story of one of the most original and moving characters in all of graphic fiction.

Life as Concrete knows it is about to change forever. Former speechwriter Ron Lithgow returns as the title character in Paul Chadwick's critically acclaimed and award-winning miniseries. Trapped in an alien's rock-hard body, Lithgow is an accidental celebrity whose high profile is being courted by a front-page CEO. Though Concrete believes overpopulation to be an important issue, does he want to become the spokesperson for a controversial population control program? While Concrete mulls this generous proposition over with his biologist, Maureen, his longtime aide Larry Munro mulls over an entirely different sort of proposal. Life and violent death take center stage in this compelling new collection from an industry-renowned creative master, and the subject of overpopulation is given the trademark thoughtful exploration that Chadwick fans have come to expect. Collecting the six-issue miniseries. • Winner of seven Eisner and three Harvey awards for Concrete, acclaimed creator Paul Chadwick pulled out all the stops for his first Concrete miniseries in six years-the most mature one yet. • Chadwick was awarded the 2005 Eisner Award for Best Writer/Artist for this series! • The format of Concrete: The Human Dilemma mirrors that of the new Concrete archives, Depths, Heights, Fragile Creature, and Killer Smile.

Love and Rockets' Gilbert Hernandez continues his scary and sexy romp through the zombie-infested future! With the irresistible drug 'spin' turning more and more people into shambling brain-eaters, the beautiful Fatima finds herself one of the last agents standing against them. But with conspiracy theories running rampant, it's impossible to tell if she's on the right side or if her own organization is responsible for unleashing the plague!

As Meru's investigation of MIND MGMT takes her to China and its 'miracle dolphins,' she begins to realize that the clues she's been following have been intentionally left for her. What do the horrors she's seen on her journey have to do with a psychic espionage agency dating back to WWI, and why does its most notorious defector, Henry Lyme, want Meru to find him?
