  • Twisted Trails of the Wold West by Matthew Baugh © 2006
    Twisted Trails of the Wold West By Matthew Baugh © 2006 The Old West was an interesting place, and even more so in the Wold- Newton Universe. Until fairly recently only a few of the heroes and villains who inhabited the early western United States had been confirmed through crossover stories as existing in the WNU. Several comic book miniseries have done a lot to change this, and though there are some problems fitting each into the tapestry of the WNU, it has been worth the effort. Marvel Comics’ miniseries, Rawhide Kid: Slap Leather was a humorous storyline, parodying the Kid’s established image and lampooning westerns in general. It is best known for ‘outing’ the Kid as a homosexual. While that assertion remains an open issue with fans, it isn’t what causes the problems with incorporating the story into the WNU. What is of more concern are the blatant anachronisms and impossibilities the story offers. We can accept it, but only with the caveat that some of the details have been distorted for comic effect. When the Rawhide Kid is established as a character in the Wold-Newton Universe he provides links to a number of other western characters, both from the Marvel Universe and from classic western novels and movies. It draws in the Marvel Comics series’ Blaze of Glory, Apache Skies, and Sunset Riders as wall as DC Comics’ The Kents. As with most Marvel and DC characters there is the problem with bringing in the mammoth superhero continuities of the Marvel and DC universes, though this is not insurmountable.

  • Crusade of the Blue Banner in Colorado
    Crusade of the Blue Banner in Colorado BY NORMAN J. BENDER The extension of the Presbyterian church from a well­ established stronghold in the eastern United States into a western frontier environment caused concern and apprehension among leaders of the church. Dread of emancipation from tra­ ditional regulation invoked visions of schismatic revolt caused by the democratic influence of frontier conditions. This fear of splintering was exaggerated and cannot be supported by a realistic appraisal of the frontier situation. For example, although early Colorado Presbyterians did grasp initially at temporary expedients to satisfy limitations of physical sur­ roundings and migratory leadership, their customary regard for church authority and ritual was only lying dormant, ready to be reawakened by the introduction of old associations. The Presbyterian church became a symbol of conservative stability among many community efforts to emulate eastern prototypes. Following a brief review of early historical background of this church in Colorado and the Rocky Mountains, the interests and goals of Presbyterian pioneers in the area will be examined to provide evidence of this desire for continuity of traditional customs.1 On June 11, 1859, the Reverend Lewis Hamilton arrived in Denver and preached in an unfinished building on the follow­ ing Sabbath. Because of his health his congregation at Lima, Indiana, had given him a six months' vacation with full pay to convalesce in the mountains. Hamilton, who is regarded as the pioneer minister of the Presbyterian church in Colorado, also preached in the mining camps adjacent to Denver but made no effort to organize a church.2 1 The term "frontier," when used alone in this paper, refers to the region broadly defined as the Rocky Mountain West.
