...actually Fred Flintstone, filing in for the injured lookalike spy, he's trying to make contsct with a femme fatale double agent who will lead him to the evil Green Goose!
Unfortunately, Rock Slag, like most secret agents of the era, is something of a horndog, with at least one woman in every major city...

Captains Library Thanksgiving Turkey MAN CALLED FLINTSTONE Part 1
The Final Project from the Original 1960s Flintstones Series...
...was this musical animated feature film capitalizing on the multi-media Spy Craze of the mid-1960s!
At this point, the movie has a music video...
Now back to the comic...
To be Concluded...Tomorrow!
Much like Sean Connery's James Bond, Rock Slag apparently had (at least) one girl in every major city!
Adapted by writer Carl Fallberg from an early version of the movie script by Harvey Bullock and Ray Allen, and penciled by Pete Alvarado, it lacks a lot of the "set piece" action sequences you'll see in the uncut film when we link to it on Saturday, though the parts that are in the comic are literally verbatim from the movie dialogue!
Trivia: As soon as the TV series wrapped production after 166 episodes, the creatives jumped into production on this movie.
While Alan Reed, who performed Fred's voice on the original series also did so here, Henry Corden provided Fred's singing voice, and took over for Reed as Fred in sequel series and movies after Alan passed away!
Note: The comic was issued as part of the ongoing Gold Key Flintstones comic (#36 in 1966), instead of a one-shot!
Despite the TV series' cancellation, the comic was popular enough to continue at Gold Key until #60 in 1970, then switched over to Charlton for another 50 issues until 1977!

Captain's 50th Anniversary Theatre & Library SPACE: 1999 "Breakaway" Conclusion
We Have Already Seen...
It's the year 1999, and Commander John Koenig has just assumed command of Moonbase Alpha!
His assignment: prepare the Meta Probe crew, who will launch shortly to explore a rogue planet that's entered the Solar System.
But something...not disease nor radiation...is crippling and killing the Meta Probe crew, as well as other Moonbase personnel!
Koenig, Medical officer Dr Helena Russell, and renowned scientist Professor Victor Bergman figure out that magnetic radiation from Nuclear Waste Disposal Area #1 all the affected people worked near caused their physical decay and deaths.
Shortly after they've implemented safeguards, Waste Dump #1's contents combust, destroying the site.
The much larger Nuclear Waste Disposal Area #2, which had been showing similar readings, now begins the same progression towards fission/fusion.
To forestall that, the entire base's staff begin trying to extract and spread out the nuclear waste over the surface of the Moon...
