Wolverine. Logan. Weapon X: by any name you choose an anti-social
savage that kills with gratuitous precision, a self-identified
assassin who by his own words IS the best at what he does,
regardless of what he does not being very nice. Marvel Comics's
most complex and captivating antihero Wolverine is paradoxically
the most deviant yet humane of all mutants. Rejected by the balance
of mankind ludicrously termed humanity, experimented on by his own
corrupt government, universally misjudged yet esteemed by his
myriad fans, this beer-loving and cigar-smoking Canadian character
has steadily ascended in popularity since his first appearance in
the last panel of The Incredible Hulk #180. Wolverine's uniquely
amalgamated psyche of man and mutant, reveals in many ways our own
human complexities and contradictions. His journey is a
thought-provoking, indeed inspiring reminder of our own
transformational power of resiliency through trial and torment.
From his greatest triumphs to his most disheartening downfalls,
through loves and losses, victories and defeats, Untamed delivers,
for the first time, the psychological exploration of a myth, a
purposeful creation, a modern legend that peels the layers of why
this legend rises to the level of allegory, and why we ascribe to a
current pulp antihero the status of time-honored parable.

These personal and historical meditations explore the human and
natural history of the Near Southwest, a bio-region that embraces
New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and slices of Colorado, Kansas,
Arkansas, and Louisiana. Centuries ago, the Navajos named this
region the Horizontal Yellow, a landscape characterized by yellowed
grass stretching in all four directions, rivers that drain from the
Southern Rockies to the Gulf of Mexico, and human cultures
peculiarly adapted to the regional biome. The Horizontal Yellow's
piney woods, oak savannahs, blackland prairies, rolling desert
plains, desert scrub basins, scarp mesas, table lands,
pinon-juniper foothills, and diverse mountain ranges have succored
and inspired American Indians, Hispanos, Anglos, and Frenchmen,
including Dan Flores's own ancestors, who homesteaded in western
Louisiana three hundred years ago and were mustangers on the
Southern Plains. Moving between the present and past, the personal
and historical, the author ruminates on myth, wilderness, wolves,
horses, deserts, mountains, rivers, and human endeavor from Cabeza
de Vaca to Georgia O'Keeffe in the Near Southwest.
