2005: Speechwriter Ron Lithgow returns as Concrete, the title character in one of the most critically acclaimed creator-owned stories in comics history. Trapped in an alien's rock-hard body, Lithgow is an accidental celebrity whose high profile is being courted by a front-page CEO. Though Concrete believes overpopulation to be an important issue, does he want to become the spokesperson for a controversial new population control program? Just when Lithgow thinks that he has an answer, the CEO appears with an offer that he can't refuse. Meanwhile, new fiancé Larry Munro unhappily stumbles over the first downside to engaged bliss. Toss a deadly freeway shooting into the mix, and you've got the makings of Paul Chadwick's most mature Concrete miniseries yet. 32 pages, black and white
