Paul Chadwick (born 1957) is an American comic book creator best known for his series Concrete, about a normal man trapped in a stone body.

Biography

Born in Seattle, Chadwick grew up in its suburb Medina, where his father, Stephen F. Chadwick, was the city attorney. As a teenager, he participated in Apa-5, the amateur press alliance of comics fans, and in 1979 graduated from the Art Center College of Design, where he had majored in illustration. In November 2017, he reported he was still at work on the story, describing it as Concrete being "hit by lightning and rendered amnesiac. He discovers the world anew, and, somewhat paranoid, becomes a danger to his loved ones and others."

Concrete: Stars over Sand is scheduled to be released in June 2026.

Chadwick won the Eisner Award for Best Writer/Artist (Team or Individual) for 1989, the Eisner Award for Best Writer/Artist in 2005, and won the Harvey Awards for Best Cartoonist (Writer/Artist) in both 1988 and 1989.
