Who is Gunslinger Spawn?
Gunslinger Spawn (real name Jeremy Winston) is a Hellspawn from the American West about 200 years ago. He was a close friend of Francis Parker, the great-grandfather of Al Simmons.
The Origin of Gunslinger Spawn
The story of Gunslinger Spawn unfolds in Spawn #174-175, where we learn about his tragic fate. Francis Parker (later known as Henry Simmons) was a deserter about to be executed alongside Jeremy Winston in the town of Bane.
Winston, a preacher, was falsely accused of murdering his family and sentenced to death. At the last moment, Mammon offered both men a chance for revenge. Parker refused, but Winston accepted the dark deal.
"I sold my love... I was a farmer's boy... but I never imagined love could be so painful!"
A Pact with the Devil
As the execution began, Mammon manipulated events to save Parker while Winston was killed. Shortly after, Winston was resurrected as Gunslinger Spawn, returning with a vengeance to annihilate every resident of Bane. Only Parker was spared, as Mammon had plans for him.
