Product Description
From Booklist
Once again, Chadwick uses Concrete, a compassionate man whose intelligence has been transplanted into a towering, granitelike body with heightened strength and senses, to express a deeply held view on a pressing issue. In the story arc here, Concrete falls in with radical environmentalists seeking to win him to their side to save an old-growth forest. Initially observing from the fringes, Concrete struggles with his conscience, but exposure to the environmental defilement gradually convinces him to take an active role. The arboreal setting gives Chadwick the chance to show off his carefully wrought line work. Two-page spreads depicting, respectively, the remnants of a clear-cut forest and an abandoned drift net containing the carcasses of trapped sea animals are powerful. Chadwick's sympathies are evident, yet he gives the opposing viewpoint a fair hearing, and Concrete's ongoing skepticism helps keep the tale from preachiness, unlike, unfortunately, several ecologically oriented short pieces that round out the volume. Those are illustrated lectures, essentially, like the recent film An Inconvenient Truth. Gordon Flagg

Product Description
Celebrity has its benefits... and its costs. Due to his status as the world's most unusual travel writer - being a thousand pounds of walking, talking rock will do that - Concrete is approached by a group of radical eco-warriors to see firsthand and write about their efforts to save old-growth forest. What begins as a lark soon turns into a harrowing struggle, and Concrete must decide whether to dispassionately observe or to join these people who would risk anything, even life itself, to save the planet. Called "the best comic being published by anyone, anywhere," Paul Chadwick's critically acclaimed Concrete is at once rousing fantasy and grounded reality, as thought-provoking and challenging as it is entertaining. Think Like a Mountain collects the 1996 Parents' Choice Award winning series along with bonus short stories, some collected here for the first time.
