Concrete #5

Paul Chadwick's Concrete continues its thoughtful, offbeat run with issue #5, subtitled "Bodyguard to a Mad Rock Star" — and the cover makes the premise immediately vivid. Chadwick's art depicts the massive stone-bodied Concrete grappling with a chaotic crowd while a curly-haired woman in patterned trousers and boots aims a gun amid the fray, with scattered bones and a skull hinting at the dangerous stakes. A corner tag — "An Armchair Stuffed with Dynamite" — adds one more layer of intrigue to what looks like a wild, grounded adventure from one of 1987's most distinctively human superhero series.
