Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshal #13

# Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshal #13 The main story follows Wyatt Earp as a mysterious gunman challenges him in Dodge City, claiming to be a "tombstone gunhand" seeking fame by defeating Earp—only to reveal he is actually a friend and former townsman who deliberately lost the fight to help Earp maintain his reputation. In the backup story "Wounded Cowman" by Whitman Marsh, Doc Steed, a frontier physician in New Rockport, loses his medical practice after treating a nester named Ephraim Teller for a gunshot wound, as the local community ostracizes him; Doc Steed ultimately refuses to abandon his principles when Teller's daughter Mary Lou comes to him at gunpoint demanding he help save her father's life, leading to his redemption in the town's eyes. A brief humorous filler story depicts a cowboy boss dealing with a prairie fire accidentally started by his employee.
