Great video! Again 🙂
Comment for the algorithm 🎉🎉🎉
Do you think this series had an influence on Dan Harmon?
Had never heard of concrete but this seems worth tracking down. Thank you for sharing!
Can’t believe I’ve never heard of this series! Great video, Concrete is definitely going to be added to my “read soon” list.
So he's an indestructable superhuman in a everyday world, trying to keep in touch with his humanity. Did someone say "Dr Manhattan"? 😉
I've been curious about Concrete for a while now. Thanks for this.
It is interesting to look back on all these Indy comics that were so well known and read back in those days and not well remembered now. A shorter series that reminded me a lot of CONCRETE was COFFIN except more of a thriller than a character study.
I'd love to see Monkeyman and O'brien next😁
Nice
Thanks for this overview – Concrete was one of my favorite discoveries way back.
Knocked it out of the park once again and I gotta ask, how do you continue to find such obscure yet fascinating topics to talk about?
Glad to see this series getting some love, read some of the volumes a while ago and thought it was just great
Lol currently available, those tpb have been out of print for years
Cement – Das Conk Creet baby
Childhood memory unlocked…
Love and Rockets feels imminent after this video.
I remember seeing Concrete on an ad of a Wizard magazine I owned.
Oh shit, I started reading these a couple weeks ago. Why didn't I get this notification?
Concrete was one of my favourite books as a kid and one of the ones that got me into dark horse specifically.
A great series
Thanks!
Really love your content man! Really extensive and inspiring! One of my favorite channels that showcases the comic medium that I love with all my heart! Keep up the good work my brother!
