Concrete Park was released in 2 volumes via Dark Horse Comics in 2014 and 2015. Co-written by screenwriter Tony Puryear and actress Erika Alexander and additionally illustrated and lettered by Puryear, this book is something else, folks!
Think of it as an urban sci-fi Game of Thrones. And a sort-of retelling of the white man coming to Australia, but in this case it's a multiracial group of "criminal" outcasts sent to an alien prison planet! A planet that, um...*might* still be populated with the natives!
Tony Puryear is known as the screenwriter of the Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle ERASER and as a key artist on Hillary Clinton's political campaign!
Erika Alexander is the award-winning actress known for The Cosby Show, Living Single, Wu Tang: An American Saga and most recently American Fiction.

THE WINES
Dave's Wine Pairing:
Slice (or "SLCE") Skin Contact White Field Blend, Paso Robles, California
Grapes: 34% Chenin Blanc + 18% Pinot Gris + 12% Colombard + 9% Xarel.lo + 8% Verdelho + 6% Vermentino + 3% Gewurtztraminer + 3% Semillon + 3% Trousseau Gris + 2% Riesling + 2% Malvasia Bianca
A wonderfully budget skin-contact white aka orange wine field blend. Bottled and released by the same group that does the "Field Recordings" wines, this is currently in Trader Joe's stores for a mere $11.99! Very, VERY much worth that price and your time.
Medium-low tannins, medium-high acidity.
Apricot skins, persimmon, goldenberry, marzipan, almond skins, and lime.
Scents of orange blossom honey, carnations, cinnamon, and light brown sugar.
Dallas' Wine Pairing:
2021 Hugo Mendes 'Lisboa' Branco White
Grapes: Fernão Pires (45%), Arinto (45%) and Vital (10%)
Hugo Mendes originally trained as a biomedical engineer, but in 2004 he worked his first wine harvest and decided to entirely change his career. He became a winemaker, and for 11 years worked in cellars and consulted all over Portugal. In 2016 however, tired of making wines to other people’s specifications, he decided to strike out on his own. A weightier white from a blend of Portuguese grapes that age briefly in old oak. Spicy orchard fruit, a creamy texture and lots of salty goodness make for a complex wine that doesn't sacrifice drinkability.
