This is awesome. Picked up the version with all the installments in one book. The art is great, but the story telling and dialogue is fucking amazing. I never would have imagined “The Flintstones” with such depth of character. I’ve burned through half the stories in one night.
Fred and his best friend, Barney Rubble, participated in the Bedrock Wars, where they and other soldiers were deceived by the conqueror, Mordok the Destroyer, into committing genocide against the Tree People and burning down their home to establish Bedrock. Barney and his wife Betty raised the infant sole survivor of the Tree People as their son, Bamm-Bamm. The “Loyal Order of Water Buffalos Lodge” from the original show is instead depicted as a veterans group the two attend to help them deal with the trauma of the ordeal.
I felt that Snagglepuss was even better. I don’t want to give any of the story away, but he’s a counterculture playwright in LA Hollywood during the McCarthy era red scare of the early 50s.
You’re right, it is better, and the Flintstones comic was already really good! I went into it knowing a lot of the historical details of the time, but it was a fantastic and emotionally moving representation of it. 10/10.
This comic fucking rips, if you’ve never seen or read it.

When you’re done with that, check out the Snagglepuss comic! The commenter that said if anything it was better was absolutely right.

It fucking rules, I’m not kidding! It’s so worth a read. I need to see if the Snagglepuss comic they put out in the same style is also good.

It’s an amazingly beautiful book and story.
Just checked out a digital copy from the library 👍

Now I need to go reread it. I have the original comics, so time to go on a hunt!
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
