Story and art by Paul Chadwick. Cover by Geof Darrow. Most of us have trouble enough just getting by. We never know how far we'd go for our beliefs. But environmental-minded Concrete faces just that when he's lured to the Pacific Northwest by a small group from Earth First! These are the guerillas of the environmental movement. They resist, blockade, and sometimes monkeywrench, wrecking equipment worth millions. They also spike trees. Concrete would be the ultimate monkeywrencher if he can be persuaded -- or manipulated -- into crossing the line. And he can. This six-part series explores the history of Earth First! and the moral questions it raises in a heady mix of suspense, humor, sexual tension, and painless dollops of natural history. 32 pages, FC. Cover price $2.95.

Story and art by Paul Chadwick. Cover by Geof Darrow. It seemed so harmless at first. Concrete was just going to observe a group of Earth First!ers -- to see firsthand what they were all about and to write about their efforts to save an old-growth forest. But that was before the group talked Concrete into illegally entering Canada, and before they decided to "monkey-wrench" some logging equipment, and before the owners of that equipment unexpectedly showed up. Now it's up to Concrete to save them all -- even if it means risking his own life. 32 pages, FC. Cover price $2.95.

Story and art by Paul Chadwick. Cover by Geof Darrow. The water in Puget Sound is pretty opaque -- a good thing for Concrete, who was forced to dive in to avoid a bunch of irate loggers. He's in Canada illegally traveling with a pack of Earth First!ers, and if he's seen he could be connected to those left-wing environmentalists and the property destruction they've caused. But that was the problem that caused him to jump. Now his problem is getting out of the Sound, finding the First!ers, and making his way back to America -- unseen. 32 pages, FC. Cover price $2.95.

Spiking trees, hammering equipment, and setting cranes ablaze -- that's what the eco-activists call "Night work," and Concrete's in the thick of it!
