Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshal #68
"The Youngest Gun Alive" follows a young gunslinger whose father was killed by hired gunmen, and who now seeks revenge against those responsible. When Wyatt Earp encounters the boy, he attempts to give him a fair chance rather than allow him to face the killers alone, recognizing that a child is no match for professional hired killers. The story explores themes of justice and protection as Earp works to handle the situation and apprehend those involved in the father's death, ultimately revealing that a man named Thompson was responsible for the killing.
