Part man, partâ?¦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 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 hitchhiking tr… (plus d'informations)

Paul Chadwick, according to his introduction, is a normal Joe who feels set apart and judged by his fellow humans. So, when he created a comic book character, he decided to make said guy an ordinary speechwriter who remained ordinary even when he underwent a monstrous transformation. Ron Lithgow became Concrete when space aliens abducted him and placed his brain into a powerful cyborg body that appeared like a man covered in concrete. He didn’t become a superhero. He became a celebrity. His adventures are those of a good, brave, modest man who struggles when he tries to act like a celebrity or a hero. I found the stories interesting once I accepted that they were about personal alienation and celebrity culture rather than bad guys getting punched. ( )

I didn't expect to find a story of exploring human potential and of survival. Sometimes I struggled through parts of the book, but it was always worth it. ( )

I had first heard of Paul Chadwick in connection with the Legend imprint of Dark Horse Comics. Knowing that I liked the works of other creators on that short-lived imprint, I expected something worthy from Chadwick's Concrete. And I was not disappointed. This collection even throws in an autobiographical tale.

The art and story are both interesting and detailed. While Concrete might be a character who could sink into feeling down, alone and alienated, the common drive in the book is survival, no matter what life throws at you. ( )

I am glad to have purchased this.

Depths is a ponderous and classically told 'comic' that I can actually label original in it's approach to the superhuman persona. Chadwick doesn't have Concrete suddenly save the world, his shyness and introversion aren't suddenly gone, he isn't wealthy.... He is awkward, stumbling, introspective, confused by his place, searching for meaning, struggling with indwelling bitterness over his difference, and very isolated. Not only is his isolation a very physical manifestation, but it is clear that those around him only view him as an object, experiment, curiosity, a thing (very like the Thing from Fan 4 in fact), except that he is intelligent, articulate, and emotionally vulnerable. It will warrant rereading. ( )
