PAUL CHADWICK’S AWARD-WINNING “CONCRETE” IS BACK!

A’ight… this is one of those moments that hits different. 🪨✨
A true legend is stepping back into the spotlight.

The multi-Eisner Award–winning, multi-Harvey Award–winning, and Reuben Award–winning masterpiece Concrete, created by comics visionary Paul Chadwick, is OFFICIALLY BACK with Concrete: Stars Over Sand a gripping, five-part saga soaked in amnesia, isolation, wilderness, and white-knuckle suspense. And here’s the kicker: this is the first all-new Concrete story since 2012. Yeah… let that sink in.

Chadwick has been quietly crafting this return for over a decade, pouring everything he has into it. Wraparound oil-painted covers, real locations he’s camped and sketched himself, and personal experience woven straight into Concrete’s bones. This isn’t just a comeback it’s a deeply lived-in story, built from memory, fear, and survival. Chadwick himself says he’s brought everything he knows about suspense to this one… and it shows.

In Concrete: Stars Over Sand #1, something has gone terribly wrong.

Concrete enters the desert and doesn’t come back. Larry and Maureen are desperate. Reports start rolling in that Concrete has been spotted in the nearby mountains… bloodied, disoriented, attacking people. Struck by lightning and robbed of his memory, Concrete stumbles through a hostile, unrecognizable world. The sky roars. A strange globe rises. His stone-sheathed body feels alien. He believes he’s being hunted. To him, people are the threat.

What unfolds is a haunting race against time: Concrete’s terrifying journey back to himself, and his friends’ frantic search to save him before it’s too late. It’s tense. It’s strange. It’s introspective. And it ranks among the most powerful Concrete stories ever told. This is legacy comics done right quiet, intense, human, and unforgettable.
