This review is from: Concrete Volume 6: Strange Armor (v. 6) (Paperback)
CONCRETE 6: Strange Armor, story & art by Paul Chadwick, lettering by Bill Spicer (208 pgs., 1988, 1989, 1990, 1993, 1996,
1997, 1998, 2006). This is one fine graphic novel. This entire oeuvre has really grown up. I guess the father of the modern graphic novel could have been Will Eisner, who recently passed away well into his 80's.
This anthology volume contains a film script that didn't get filmed, issues one thru five of the Dark Horse comic book series, as well as stories from various individual books.
Alien technology has turned an unassuming American into a living concrete being with superhuman powers, except he has lost his powers to touch & taste. He can still love; but he can't physically make love. How does one live like this? How does one stay away from all those seeking to make a buck off of him or even to turn into some weapon for sale to the highest bidder? Chadwick comes up with various plot lines. All we have to do is relax in an easy chair & turn the pages. This is one fine read.
