The Flintstones #1 | A Clean Slate

06.30.2016 - “The Flintstones” where the original ‘first family’ on television since being introduced in September 30, 1960 until The Simpsons replaced them, but still known for being one of Hanna-Barbera’s iconic animated series. The series originally for six seasons and over the years it expanded to animated specials and two live action films. The latest comicbook incarnation takes its adaptation of the live action movie that have John Goodman in 1994 and the prequel ‘Viva Rock Vegas’ as portrayed by Mark Addy. In comicbook form it’s written by Mark Russell with art handled by Steve Pugh. The plot is that Fred Flintstones was asked his boss Mr. Slate to bring the newly employed Cro-Magnons to have a good time, while at home Wilma discovered her talent in art. For most of the time The Flintstones are more portrayed and likable in their original cartoon form and it feels rather weird to see them drawn on a serious tone like their theatrical counterparts, but none of them resembles the actors that portrayed them.
