The Complete Concrete by Paul Chadwick

5.0

A political speech writer is kidnapped by aliens while on a camping trip trying to get over his divorce. He wakes to find himself trapped in a powerful body of stone. Escaping from the aliens he attempts to lead a heroic magnificent life using the strength given by his new body. Unfortunately, giant stone hands make daily life difficult and despite his good intentions Concrete's plans don't always work out.

It's a great non-superhero comic, Concrete is a man removed from humanity, despite his obvious desire to be be human and find love. I really enjoyed the details of the art, like how his companions are quite often cleaning up broken vases and other debris that Concrete creates just by walking around. The art and story does have a very 80's feel.

This is one of those books I can't believe I had never heard of and I would recommend to anyone.
