The series premiered in
1962. Stopped in 1970 after 54 issues.
The
series takes place in the Stone Age. In it we meet the
Flintstone family consisting of Fred and Wilma (and later on
Pebbles) and the Rubble family consisting of Barney and Betty
(and later on Bamm-Bamm).
We follow the daily - and somewhat tumultuous - life in the town
of Bedrock, where the men go to work and the women function as
housewives. They are all using a great variety of gadgets
that resemble modern day appliances, and they keep pets such as
dinosaurs and sabre-toothed tigers.
The
series is based on an animated cartoon TV series that ran from
1960 to 1966 (116 episodes).
