Spawn #174 (2008)

In a tale as old as time, Spawn #174 takes readers on a journey through the past, exploring the deep roots of Mammon's influence on the Simmons' family. Through the eyes of Al Simmons' great-great-grandfather, a legendary Buffalo Soldier, we see how even the bravest of heroes can fall under the sway of the devil himself. But this is no ordinary tale of the Old West, as readers are treated to the thrilling introduction of Gunslinger Spawn. With a name like that, one might imagine a rough-and-tumble cowboy with a six-shooter at his side, but this is Spawn we're talking about, and Gunslinger Spawn is no exception. With all the grit and darkness that fans of the series have come to expect, this issue is a must-read for anyone looking to discover just how far the devil's influence can reach.
