Tough Kid (Original Title: Let Me Breathe Thunder) (Lion 86)

125 pp. Original title: Let Me Breathe Thunder. Two bums and an armful of trouble. They were a couple of hoboes, their hands gritty from track cinders, their bellies hot with cheap gin. When they hit a big town, they went looking for trouble--either in a tight skirt or in a battle. But this wasn't a big city. This was a sheep ranch. The work was hard, but somehow it was much easier than bumming. It was clean. But still, there was trouble. Her name was Anna. And they didn't have to go out looking for her. She was there all the time. Waiting.
