The Flintstones Vol. 1 by Mark Russell

3.0

This is very different from the Flintstones of my Hanna Barbara childhood, focusing more on modernized/realistic interpretations of the characters mixed with politically conscious topics. The stories are sharp and serious, and often don't rest on the goofy to tell broad stories. Rather a theme of, say, racial prejudice is communicated with the trappings of stone age props and occasionally a one line gag will provide much needed comic relief. There is a deep-seated anti-religion tone the comic takes (which I could do without), but all in all it is an amusing read.
