When a simpleton prince has a vision that his father, the King, turns into military strategy, he is hailed as a seer. But no one realises that his visions are merely poetic retellings of history lessons learned from his timid tutor, who becomes a reckless manipulator of the boy''s visions. Magdin soon becomes a helpless pawn in a game of savage political intrigue. When his prophecies become more and more ominous, no one is safe as desperation and murder thunders throughout the kingdom.

Faith is not exclusive to religion. Science also requires faith - faith in information discovered using tools and concepts developed during modern times. Religious faith tends to be dogmatic and resistant to change. Scientific faith tends to be pragmatic and adaptable. This book discusses the author''s personal journey through religious and scientific faiths, why people come to believe in one or the other, and the insights into life and nature that scientific faith provides. Can religious and scientific faiths coexist? What do they have in common? This book explores those questions.

When you''re seven-feet plus of walking, talking stone, you''re bound to draw the media spotlight, especially when you live in Tinseltown. Concrete''s celebrity status is sometimes a pain in the buttress . . . but it does bring the occasional paycheck gig. When the producer of a low-budget science-fiction film approaches Concrete to use his prodigious strength to help save money on the film''s FX budget, the siren call of Hollywood draws Concrete like a moth to a flame . . . a seven-thousand-dollar-a-week flame, that is. • Concrete is a multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winner. • The return of Paul Chadwick''s award-winning Concrete has ushered in a resurgence of interest in the acclaimed series that Harlan Ellison called "...probably the best comic being published today by anyone, anywhere."

Being a 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.

As Concrete, Ronald Lithgow becomes an overnight celebrity and the focus of dark government operatives desperate to keep the secret of his metamorphosis from the public. Concrete must struggle with the loss of his humanity while discovering, perhaps for the first time, what it truly means to be human. • "A powerful, emotional story . . . If you''re not readingConcrete, you should be.” -Sci-Fi Universe • Paul Chadwick''s award-winning Concrete has been called "the best comic being published by anyone, anywhere," andStrange Armor is the definitive origin story of one of the most original and moving characters in all of graphic fiction.
