Staff Pick
Mark Russell brings smart satire and heart in equal measure to this entertaining update of the Stone-Age family. You won't even realize how much he's leading you to think. And Steve Pugh's artwork is a great 21st-century take on the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons. There are visual treats on every page. Bonus: the real Adam and Steve. Recommended By Doug C., Powells.com

Synopsis
Fred and Barney reunite for Mark Russell's modern take on Hanna-Barbera's most famous stone-age family
This new series starring the first family of Bedrock (and civilization, really) tells the story of who we are and why we do what we do as if it all began with Fred, Wilma, Barney, Betty, and the rest of the citizens of Bedrock. Shining a light on humanity's ancient customs and institutions in a funny origin story of human civilization, Mark Russell (PREZ) blends modern interpretations with Hanna-Barbera's classic character's, bringing a breath of fresh stone-age air.
Hanna-Barbera has created some of the most recognizable animated characters of all time. As part of DC Comics' re-imagination of cartoons like Scooby-Doo, The Flintsones, Johnny Quest, Space Ghost, and Wacky Racers, these new series will be infused with modern and contemporary concepts while keeping the heart and soul of the classic animation.
Collects THE FLINTSTONES #1-6.

Fred and Barney reunite for Mark Russell's modern take on Hanna-Barbera's most famous stone-age family
Welcome to Bedrock, where Paleolithic humans head to dinner for a taste of artisanal mammoth after shopping at Neandertall & Big Men's Clothing, where Wilma shows her modern art, and where, if you take a plane, you could end up sitting on the literal tail section. See Fred, Wilma, Pebbles, Dino, Barney, Betty and Bamm-Bamm as you've never seen them before in THE FLINTSTONES VOL. 1.
THE FLINTSTONES has garnered significant critical acclaim for its modern take on the iconic Hanna-Barbera prime-time animated series. This darkly hilarious title cast an acerbic eye on issues like consumerism, religion, politics and relationships that's both distinctly twenty-first century and uniquely the Flintstones
The critically acclaimed creative team of Mark Russell (PREZ) and Steve Pugh (ANIMAL MAN, SWAMP THING) set out to turn a beloved classic cartoon into a modern graphic novel masterpiece with THE FLINTSTONES VOL. 1, which collects THE FLINTSTONES #1-6.
