I definitely agree Chadwick's work deserves a lot more attention.<BR/><BR/>(And thanks always to Matt Brady for the supportive comments! You're definitely right that those pages from <I>Think Like a Mountain</I> are terrific -- clearly thematically connected to the page I discuss here: in essence, it's Concrete doing what Maureen does in this story, imagining viscerally reacting with the environment. Incidentally, you can still find <I>Think Like a Mountain</I>'s color edition -- I'm pretty sure I just saw it the other day in Comic Relief in Berkeley -- but of course you loose out on the short-shorts that are included in the recent reprints. Always trade-offs!)Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524368948187746248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13734864.post-77021101531013005652007-05-15T20:38:00.000-04:002007-05-15T20:38:00.000-04:00Commenter thewalker tipped me to this wonderful es...Commenter thewalker tipped me to this wonderful essay. <BR/><BR/>Naturally, I enjoy complimentary reviews, but in this case the level of discourse, sense of context, and even word choice indicate there's a lot of iceberg under this tip.<BR/><BR/>Thanks much for pointing thoughtful people my way.<BR/><BR/>--Paul ChadwickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13734864.post-1599848652417245262007-05-15T03:27:00.000-04:002007-05-15T03:27:00.000-04:00genius analysis, well done."Or perhaps that's just...genius analysis, well done.<BR/><BR/>"Or perhaps that's just the environmental equivalent of Hitler remilitarizing the Rhineland, and Pearl Harbor still awaits.)"<BR/><BR/>heh, wow.<BR/>and mr chadwick just doesnt get enough attention considering his talents<BR/><BR/><BR/>look forward to reading morethewalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235964069097215654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13734864.post-64533967288504863972007-03-15T21:44:00.000-04:002007-03-15T21:44:00.000-04:00Man, you're so right about Chadwick's ability to l...Man, you're so right about Chadwick's ability to lay out a page. Some of those pages in <I>Concrete</I> are downright incredible. Off the top of my head, I remember some from <I>Think Like a Mountain</I> in which Concrete is contemplating man's effect on the planet, and he imagines a huge half-man/half-woman holding a giant chainsaw made of airplane and factory parts. It's breathtaking.<BR/><BR/>I've only read the series in the digest editions (most of it, that is; I still have to pick up volumes 4 and 6), which are black and white; I know some of them, including <I>Think Like a Mountain</I> were originally in color, which probably made them even more beautiful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867868039166531163noreply@blogger.com
