Concrete: The Human Dilemma

Paul Chadwick's Concrete: The Human Dilemma (2004–2005, Dark Horse) is a six-issue miniseries that deepens the acclaimed, introspective saga of a man trapped inside a colossal stone body. Written and drawn entirely by Chadwick, this chapter finds the titular character wrestling with the weight of his own fame and the moral complexities of using his immense strength in a world that sees him as either a savior or a monster. It's a thoughtful, character-driven exploration of power and isolation that stands as a key entry in one of independent comics' most humanistic superhero stories.
