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!
