In "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.
