Think Like a Mountain

By Paul Chadwick

Celebrity has its benefits... and its costs. Due to his status as the world's most unusual travel writer being a thousand pounds of walking, talking rock will do that Concrete is approached by a group of radical eco-warriors to see firsthand and write about their efforts to save old-growth forest. What begins as a lark soon turns into a harrowing struggle, and Concrete must decide whether to dispassionately observe or to join these people who would risk anything, even life itself, to save the planet. Called "the best comic being published by anyone, anywhere," Paul Chadwick's critically acclaimed Concrete is at once rousing fantasy and grounded reality, as thought-provoking and challenging as it is entertaining. Think Like a Mountain collects the 1996 Parents' Choice Award winning series along with bonus short stories, some collected here for the first time."

Chadwick's masterpiece

The 5th volume of Concrete collects the most critically acclaimed and well known storyline in the series, and it is author Paul Chadwick's favorite to boot! Concrete is dreading being alone, as his two closest companions, biologist Maureen Vonnegut and aide Larry Munro, are leaving on trips, then a strange offer comes up: an Earth First! group wants Concrete to accompany them and document their efforts as they sneak into an old growth forest scheduled for logging. Initially hesitant, Concrete agrees due to the fact he's not joining the radical enviromentalists, just acting as an observer, but when the battle gets increasingly tough and Concrete learnes more about just what's at stake he becomes more and more radicalized himself. Thought proking and entertaining at the same time, Think Like a Mountain is a comic masterpiece. Chadwick's drawing is as beautiful as ever, and even though this comic was originally published in color the current black and white printing is far superior. As with previous volumes there are several short stories collected as well, all of which continue the enviromental theme.

Another Great Collection

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. =s=
