  • 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.

    SIERRA MADRE EDITION SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 2019 VOLUME 13 NO.10 SANTA ANITA SHUT DOWN; 21 HORSES DEAD by Kevin McGuire Animal rights activists continue to accrue outside the iconic Santa Anita Racetrack in Arcadia, holding signs expressing sentiments such “It’s Not Sport, It’s Violence” and “Horseracing Kills Horses,” as the track halts all racing and training indefinitely after the loss of 21 horses over a short 10-week period. In addition to dealing with a depleted horse population this season, over 16 inches of rain has pelted the dirt track over the past two months, making conditions for training treacherous at times for bulked up horses with brittle legs. This past Tuesday, Santa Anita reported the loss of a 4-year-old filly named Let’s Light the Way who shattered its sesamoid bone at the ankle joint. The horse was euthanized. Another 20 horses died as a result of racing the main track, the turf track and morning workouts. After the latest catastrophe, The Stronach Group, owners of Santa Anita, called for closure of the track and a thorough inspection. Why did it take so long? That’s what activists and area residents want to know, as the voiced their displeasure, for the way things were handled, on social media and on the parking lot outside the track. “So it took 21 horses to die before Santa Anita closes indefinitely SMH! (shaking my head), of course it’s about the money, not the horses,” one Twitter post said. According to The Stronach Group, a “highly respected track man” Dennis Moore and Dr.
