In Concrete Omnibus<\/i><\/b> Volume 1:<\/b><\/p>\n

Part man, part . . . rock? Over seven feet tall and weighing over a thousand pounds, he is known as Concrete but is in reality one Ronald Lithgow trapped inside a shell of stone, a body that allows him to walk unaided on the ocean’s floor, survive the crush of rubble in a collapsed mineshaft, or solo climb Mount Everest with nothing but his wits\u00a0.\u00a0. . but prevents him from feeling the touch of a human hand. These tales of\u00a0Concrete are as rich and satisfying as any in comics: funny, heartbreaking, and singularly human.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Depths<\/i> features the classic early Concrete<\/i> short stories, including the Eisner-nominated “Orange Glow” and “Vagabond,” Paul Chadwick’s autobiographical account of a cross-country hitchhiking trip. Heights<\/i> includes Concrete<\/i> issues #6\u2013#10, the Concrete Color Special “World Beneath the Skin,” and “Brighter.”<\/p>\n

Whether discovering Concrete<\/i> for the first time or revisiting the classic, Concrete Omnibus<\/i><\/b> Volume 1<\/b> will provide readers a journey that is as thrilling and poignant as ever when the 544-page (6.625 \u00d7 10.1875\u201d) paperback arrives in bookstores and comic shops on June 1, 2026 for $39.99.
