The Flintstones #11

Jill Thompson's watercolor cover for issue #11 pulls you right into the chaos, as Fred and Wilma — along with a crowd of wide-eyed Bedrock neighbors — look on in alarm while a massive crumbling stone statue towers overhead, its rope still clutched in someone's fist, with a pterodactyl wheeling through the sky above. Mark Russell, Steve Pugh, and Chris Chuckry bring their thoughtful, funny spin on Bedrock life to "The Neighborhood Association," a story title that promises the kind of satirical suburban tension this series does so well. Whether the statue's toppling is triumph or disaster for Bedrock's residents, this cover makes it very hard to wait and find out.
