The multi-Eisner Award-winning, multi-Harvey Award-winning, and Reuben Award-winning creation of comics master Paul Chadwick Concrete is back with Concrete: Stars Over Sand, a five-part story of amnesia, wilderness, and suspense. Beginning June 2026, fans will get the opportunity to read all-new Concrete for the first time since 2012.
“A decade’s work, more or less,” said Chadwick on the development of the series. “Covers are wraparound oil paintings; it’s set in places I’ve camped and sketched; I’ve lived, briefly, Concrete’s affliction. Everything I know about suspense I’ve tried to do here.”
In Concrete: Stars Over Sand #1: Concrete has entered the desert and not come back. Larry and Maureen are frantic. Reports come that he is wandering the nearby arid mountains, covered with blood, attacking people. Concrete, lightning-struck, confused, roams a frightening world he can’t understand. Roars tear across the sky. A strange globe rises. His body is sheathed in stone. He thinks he is being hunted. People are a threat. His journey back to life, and his friends’ dire search against a looming deadline, is as strange and tense as any Concrete story ever told.
Celebrate the return of Concrete in Concrete: Stars Over Sand #1 (of 5) when it arrives at comic shops on June 17, 2026, for $4.99. Visit Find Your Comic Store for more details and stores near you.
