The Flintstones #22
In "Something Gruesome This Way Comes!", Fred's well-meaning invitation to the Gruesomes' family pet plant, Thornton, takes a wildly unexpected turn when a stray drop of quick growth formula sends the little plant spiraling into a giant, chaotic force of nature in Bedrock. Written by Bill Matheny and brought to life with playful energy by artist Walter Carzon, inks by Alberto Saichann, and lettering by Dan Nakrosis, this 1997 Archie Comics adventure delivers classic slapstick humor with a touch of prehistoric peril. The cover, by Scott Jeralds and Scott Awley, captures the absurd scale of the situation perfectly.
