The 2016 comic book of The Flintstones features character designs by Amanda Conner, resembling the actors in the 1994 live-action film. Writer Mark Russell will use Bedrock’s most popular family to shine a light on humanity’s ancient customs and institutions in a funny origin story of human civilization. Fred is still the simple man, striving to be the king of his castle; Wilma is still the tolerant but not-indulging wife, and Barney (with his wife, Betty, and infant son, Bamm-Bamm) is still the original wingman, whose loyalty to Fred often outweighs his common sense.
