Publication History
Caleb Hammer first appeared in 1980's Marvel Premiere #54. He remained in obscurity until 2000 when he was one of the characters featured in Blaze of Glory. In the mini-series he chases after Kid Colt, later teaming with him and other Western heroes to defend the town of Wonderment, Montana. During the battle the bounty hunter Gunhawk shoots Kid Colt in the back despite also agreeing to put aside his chase of the Kid to defend Wonderment. Hammer strongly disagrees with this action and ends up killing Gunhawk.
X-Force #37 featured the death of Caleb Hammer. In a flashback in that issue one of the Externals named Absalom remembered shooting an elderly Hammer in the back after Caleb refused to participate in a duel with the young outlaw.

Famous quotes containing the words publication and/or history:
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
