	Concrete (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The most common form of concrete is portland cement concrete, which consists of mineral aggregate (generally gravel and sand), portland cement and water.
		To overcome this limitation, concrete is most often constructed with the addition of steel reinforcement bars (rebars), steel mesh, or cables, to produce reinforced concrete.
		Concrete can also be prestressed, allowing for beams or slabs with a longer span than is practical with reinforced concrete.

	Nasty Tales
		OK, so British underground comics were never as important or prolific as their US counterparts, and the British undergrounds did reprint a lot of US material - but there's still too much of a US focus here, not much of which will surprise the reader.
		A focus on French and other continental comics is more relevant and interesting - the chasm between the way in which comics are viewed here and their perception from our nearest Continental neighbours is vast, although Huxley does point out that the French scene isn't as blameless as might be supposed.
		Huxley mentions some comics outside of the range of his writing - the Viz success story is certainly more a late 80s and early 90s phenomenon - but these hints of what might have been are ultimately frustrating to the reader.

		Concrete continues to reflect, not on his life, per se, but on the nature of human life itself.
		Chadwick's art style walks a fine line between a simpler, conventional comics approach and a more detailed realism, and the end result is a convincing look at the real world with an unreal figure walking around in it.
		Concrete's reflective tone here is oddly encouraging and calming, but it's not an introspective train of thought he's on at the issue's opening.

		I love comic books (you might have guessed that already), not just because of the stories or the artwork (or because I long to wear a cape and jump off the wardrobe), but because I admire the 'process' and teamwork which goes into creating them.
		Like the web, some comics are produced by one person, but many of the best are created by a team of people whose skills compliment eachother and go into making a better overall result.
		As many regular comic books are published monthly and both pencilling and inking are time-consuming occupations, splitting them often ensured that publishers would be ready for their next issue on time.

		One of the creators working on the game, Paul Chadwick is no stranger to the world of comics, in fact he's created one of the best known independent comics characters, Concrete.
		Paul Chadwick has worked on dozens of comics and outside comics projects in his career, but, still, most people closely associate him with the character he created and chronicled the adventures of for many years: Concrete.
		He's pleased with the work he's done on Concrete and loves those characters and their world, but said he wanted to also work on other projects because the life of a comics creator can be a bit isolated at times.

	TIME.com -- Andrew Arnold: Heavy
		Using the tropes of the superhero genre, where Concrete often finds himself thrust into life-or-death adventures, Chadwick weaves in broader themes of the environment and social issues, along with the humorous quotidian details of Concrete's life as a walking boulder, such as his difficulties with unsupportive furniture.
		As the story builds Concrete has an increasingly difficult time staying "on message" in the vicious world of pundit media, while Larry finds himself in the unfortunate position of impregnating a one-night stand.
		One scene has Concrete, stuck in a steamy gridlock, leaping to the rescue of someone caught in a dangerous road rage incident.
