Synopsis for "Gunslinger Spawn, Part 1"
From Henry Simmons' Journal: During the war between the states, almost 180,000 African Americans fought on the side of the Union. Over 30,000 of them died. To recognize their service, Congress authorized the formation of 2 cavalry regiments and 4 infantry regiments to be drawn from the black population. These regiments became popularly known as 'Buffalo Soldiers'. In spite of their distinguished service and frequent commendations for bravery, the Buffalo Soldiers were often victims of racism within the army itself and from the civilian population they served.
In early 1881 a Buffalo Soldier was murdered in Texas and when members of the 10th cavalry reacted, Al Simmons' great grandfather was forced to go on the run. As he tried to make contact with his fiancée, Alma, he was caught in a blizzard in the mountains of Colorado, and took refuge in the town of Bane. Here he found himself sharing a cell with Ol' Job, a man whose family has been slaughtered by the corrupt businessman, Ed Kemper. Ol' Job has been framed for murder and the townspeople are keen to lynch both men without a trial.
When a mysterious man in white offers the two men the chance to cheat death, Al Sim- mons' ancestor refuses to sell his soul. Ol' Job takes the offer. The Buffalo Soldier narrowly escapes being hanged but Ol' Job is not so lucky. That night his corpse rises from the dead as a Hellspawn, eager to wreak a terrible revenge.
