A Fistful of Warlocks (SPOILERS: FISTFUL OF WARLOCKS)
Anubissama:
Isn't that mostly due to Stuart Lake's heavily fictionalised "biography" of Earp?
In reality, he was an occasional law enforcer and gambler who was accused of murder after the O.K. Corral shootout and got off because he hired a famous defence attorney. Doesn't really scream "zombie killer" material to me.

He's taught about in American schools. Having him be anything other than strictly epic would ruin the cameo and feel off to anyone with enough knowledge of both American History and Alt-history genre savvy. So no, it doesn't give necromancers a bad name. It holds true to the legends of the source material in the same way making Odin terrifyingly powerful does.

Yep, missing that. He's the inspiration for pretty much any badass gunslinger to come after.

He is the man with no name, he just stopped using one so he wouldn't grow a huge mantle around it ;) see Marty Robins, Big Iron.

Not just Jenny Greenteeth, but Lily as well, who's half-nixie, per Summer Knight.
The only thing I'm sad about regarding this story was that I was hoping to find out why sheriff badges are five-pointed stars inside a circle.
