Paul Chadwick is een kunstenaar en schrijver, vooral gevierd om zijn geprezen Concrete-serie.

Chadwick's artistieke stijl kenmerkt zich door zijn krachtige visuele storytelling en zijn vermogen om diepe emoties over te brengen binnen het stripboekmedium. Zijn verhalen weerspiegelen een diepe betrokkenheid bij filosofische concepten en de zoektocht naar zingeving in het bestaan.

Big as a boulder and strong as an ox, he's Concrete, seven-feet plus of stony celebrity. That he's a government-created cyborg is the cover story, but in truth he's the mind of one Ronald Lithgow trapped inside a rocky shell of alien origin. Possessing of powers allowing him to scale the highest mountain unaided or peel back the roof of a car like a pull tab, he is yet denied the simple human pleasures of fragile flesh. The return of Paul Chadwick's award-winning Concrete has ushered in a resurgence of interest in the acclaimed series that Harlan Ellison called ." . . P]robably the best comic being published today by anyone, anywhere."
