The Flintstones #1

DC's 2016 reinvention of the Bedrock gang gets off to a striking start with this cover by Steve Pugh, showing Fred Flintstone front and center, triumphantly hoisting a stone bowling ball overhead while Wilma reads a book titled Cannibalism: The Unknown Ideal behind him, Betty strikes a pose nearby, and a menagerie of prehistoric creatures — pterodactyls, a roaring dinosaur, and more — swirl through a vivid pink sky. The composition has an epic, almost satirical grandeur that signals writer Mark Russell and artist Steve Pugh are bringing something with real teeth to these beloved Hanna-Barbera characters. If the cover's irreverent details are any indication, "A Clean Slate" promises a Flintstones unlike any you've seen before.
