The Flintstones #1 (DC)
Mark Russell (w) Steve Pugh (a)
Everybody's favourite stone-age family is back. It's not a cartoon (though rumour has it Seth Macfarlane has got the contract) but a comic. And a rather good one at that.
With updated dialogue, seashells as cell-phones old Fred Flintstone has to impress the Boss once more as he gets ordered to take three Cro-Magnon cavemen on a good time in Bedrock. Not that they seem to like their experience very much.
Meanwhile Wilma gets her paintings picked for an art exhibition. She'll feature alongside Andy Warthog and David Rockney. But will her new dress impress.
As you might expect none of this goes well.
Our Cro-Magnon visitors make a poignant observation at the end:
"No offence, but the whole point of civilisation is to get someone else to do your killing for you".
Meanwhile Fred and Wilma console themselves with love.
Highly recommended. And watch out for an alien invasion in issue three out in September!
yabba yabba do!
