Paul Chadwick to talk about Concrete to the cement masses of Birmingham , Alabama
Concreteis one of my preferent comic books of all time , somewhere betweenThe Thing , Metamorphosis , andZen and the Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance . Paul Chadwickhas written and drawn a decades - spanning tarradiddle about a man who is made into a concrete bulk of a character by aliens but is left on Earth . and now has to experience his spirit , and find a style to enjoy it .
" Part man , part … rock music ? Over seven feet magniloquent and librate over a thousand pounds , he is known as Concrete but is in realism the mind of one Ronald Lithgow , trap inside a shell of stone , a torso that allows him to walk unaided on the ocean ’s floor or survive the compaction of a thousand tons of rubble in a collapse mineshaft … but prevents him from feeling the tactual sensation of a human hand . "
Paul Chadwicktoday post to BlueSky , " I have a gig this week : the keynote speech at the big cementum conference in Birmingham , AL . Amid the scientist , economists and line giants . I ’m the comic succour , I approximate . " And it ’s truthful , he has . The website introductory written matter reads ;
