Spawn #175 — CGC 9.6, Gunslinger Part 2 (Image Comics, 2008)
Part 2 of the four-issue "Gunslinger" arc by writer David Hine — a key chapter in the modern Spawn run that brought Gunslinger Spawn back to centre stage. Image Comics, 2008.
Gunslinger Spawn — the Western-era Hellspawn — has become one of the most prominent characters in the wider Spawn Universe. The October 2021 launch of Gunslinger Spawn #1 as an ongoing series produced one of the biggest single-issue indie sales of the decade and reignited collector demand for every prior appearance, making the 2008 "Gunslinger" arc a recognised back-issue cluster on his trajectory.
Slabbed by CGC at 9.6 Near Mint+, with a clean case and sharp surfaces. Original 2008 first print.

Why It Matters
- star Gunslinger Spawn appearance. One of the most prominent modern Spawn variants and the central character of the 2021 ongoing series. Back-issue Gunslinger appearances form a recognised collecting cluster.
- star Hine "Gunslinger" arc. A four-issue storyline that put Gunslinger Spawn front-and-centre in the modern Spawn run — a defined collector tier within Spawn back-issues.
- star 2021 Gunslinger Spawn #1 effect. McFarlane's October 2021 launch of Gunslinger Spawn as an ongoing series produced one of the largest single-issue indie sales of the decade and lifted demand on every prior Gunslinger appearance.
- star Spawn Universe expansion. McFarlane has progressively expanded the Spawn Universe — Gunslinger Spawn, Scorched, King Spawn, Medieval Spawn, Misery — keeping demand on Spawn-character keys structurally warm.
- star 9.6 Near Mint+. A genuinely strong slabbed grade for a modern Image book — display-ready and the standard most modern Spawn collectors target on back-issue keys.
- star Original 2008 first print. Not a reprint, not a Director's Cut. CGC slabbed and noted on the label.
Creators
David Hine wrote a substantial stretch of the modern Spawn run, including the four-part "Gunslinger" storyline. The arc reintroduced the Western-era Hellspawn to a wider modern Spawn audience and is recognised by Spawn collectors as a defined back-issue cluster on Gunslinger's appearance trajectory.
Collector Notes
Demand on Gunslinger Spawn back-issues is largely driven by McFarlane's modern Spawn Universe expansion. The 2021 launch of Gunslinger Spawn #1 — which became one of the biggest indie single-issue sales in years — pulled collector attention back to every prior Gunslinger appearance, with Hine's "Gunslinger" arc sitting near the top of that interest cluster.
Spawn #175 is part of a four-issue arc; collectors building Gunslinger-specific Spawn runs typically target the full set in matching grade. A 9.6 anchor copy of Part 2 fits naturally into either a focused arc-only collection or a wider Spawn-character set.
Note: this issue features Gunslinger Spawn but is not his first appearance. Treat it as a recognised story-arc key, not a 1st-appearance key.
Shipping

Is this Gunslinger Spawn's first appearance?
No. Spawn #175 is Part 2 of David Hine's four-issue "Gunslinger" arc and features Gunslinger Spawn prominently — but it is not his first appearance. Treat it as a recognised story-arc key in the Gunslinger Spawn back-issue cluster, not a 1st-appearance key.
Why is there demand on Gunslinger Spawn back-issues?
McFarlane launched Gunslinger Spawn #1 as an ongoing series in October 2021. It became one of the largest single-issue indie sales of the decade and pulled collector attention back to every prior Gunslinger appearance — including the 2008 Hine "Gunslinger" four-issue arc that this book belongs to.
What does CGC 9.6 mean?
CGC 9.6 is "Near Mint+" — a strong, display-ready slab grade and the benchmark most modern Image collectors target on back-issue keys. Higher grades trade above; lower grades trade below.
Is this an original 2008 print?
Yes. Original 2008 Image Comics first print, slabbed by CGC. Not a Director's Cut, anniversary edition or reprint.
