The Flintstones #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Mighty Hunter," Fred Flintstone escapes his daily grind by reading comic books—only to wake up in a dream where he’s the heroic Fantastic Fred, a super-powered adventurer in a world of prehistoric action. Written by Mark Evanier and brought to life with bold art by Dick Bickenbach, this 1978 Marvel tale blends classic Flintstone charm with a playful superhero fantasy, all wrapped in a striking cover by Bickenbach and Hooper.
Fred tries to impress G. Gordon Gunnite, the company’s big-shot stockholder, by pretending to be a mighty hunter—complete with exaggerated tales and a makeshift trophy. But when Mr. Slate’s mysterious new pet, Gigantisaurus Lepus, starts showing up at the quarry, Fred’s bluff might just be harder to maintain than he expected.
In a whimsical twist, Fred dreams he’s the heroic Fantastic Fred, battling the notorious Sabre-Toothed Cat Burglar while Mr. Slate watches from the sidelines—though whether he’s a witness or part of the scheme remains delightfully unclear.
