Product DescriptionStanding in the shadow of celebrity has its ups and downs, as Concrete's personal assistant, Larry Munro, knows all too well. But there are darker places than any shadow, as Larry learns the hard way when he is taken hostage by a psychotic gunman who forces Larry to be his chauffer on a road trip destined to end in disaster... unless Larry can muster the courage to act. The return of Paul Chadwick's award-winning Concrete has ushered in a resurgence of interest in the acclaimed series, and Killer Smile is Chadwick's darkest Concrete work, a harrowing tale Frank Miller called 'edge-of-your-seat suspense, full of unpredictable twists and turns.' This value-priced volume collects Killer Smile plus bonus short stories.

Paul is flawless in his execution of the thought-provoking life of Concrete. He weaves his tale and makes you always think about the life you lead. The best stories are the ones that stay with you and cause you to think time and again.
This is no exception.

Rating: - As strong as the first volume
One of the best graphic series I've ever read, if not the best -- beautifully and imaginatively drawn, with deep, moving stories that contain most every characteristic people look for in storytelling (intellect, humor, pathos, adventure, sorrow, joy, awe, sex, movie parodies, and a three-legged dog). What would your life become if you were suddenly transformed into a 1,200-pound hunk of ugly, indestructible rock? Paul Chadwick answers that question from most every conceivable direction, often with ... Read More

Nothing against super heroes, but Concrete shows the depth that can be portrayed in comic book form. Chadwick has also issued stories, but the comics are complete in many other ways. There is no violence nor sex yet it is entertaining for adults as well as teenagers. Concrete is humorous, sentimental, thought provoking, and entertaining. I wish a movie had been made, even a tv show since the concept of a human trapped in an alien body has a lot of mileage.
