The Flintstones, Vol. 1, by Mark Russell and Steve Pugh 170 pages
Hanna-Barbera hands the Flintstones over to DC Comics, which transforms them from classic sitcom into bitter satire.The Flintstones is clever, thoughtful, and surreal. Fred and Barney are veterans of a genocidal war against the Tree People. A prehistoric version of Carl Sagan claims that loneliness is the fundamental force driving the universe. Fundamentalist cavemen argue
that marriage is an affront to the traditional polygamous "sex cave" arrangement. Heck, the phrase "sex cave" appears in a piece of official Flintstones media. The comic’s good, don’t get me wrong, but it’s just a touch unsettling.
