The Frontiersman

The Frontiersman © Juke Box Productions AstroFacts Status: Likely Deceased Earliest Appearance: 1950s Base of Operations: Astro City presumed Personal Data InfoDump First Mentioned: Kurt Busiek's Astro City Vol.1 #2 Event Timeline The Frontiersman A hero of the 1950's who apparently smoked and advertised for Frontier Cigarettes. He's also possibly not an actual hero but one created for advertisements. Speculations, Theories A headline seen in Elliot Mills's office reading "Final Frontier?" might refer to the Frontiersman's death. Given that he smoked it would make sense that he might have gotten lung cancer and fell victim to that. Again it's possible that he wasn't an actual hero but a character made up for marketing purposes. But on the other side it's actually possible that he was a true-blue hero who did advertise for Frontier Cigarettes. It would be similar to many baseball players of the 1940s and 50's who did such advertisements.
