There were comics with the early Spawn figures, but they had original stories in them.

 

As far as I know, there are just the 6 North American versions of #1 out there.

 

1. Direct Editon

2. Newsstand Edition

3. 5th Anniversary B&W Edition

4. MoCCA 3D Edition

5. Best Buy Exclusive Mini-Comic (packaged with the HBO Animated Series 10th Anniversary Steelbook)

When I started this thread I had no idea how many different Spawn #1 there are.

 

Very cool.

Does anybody know the print run of Spawn #1?

I wonder if demand could keep this book worthy, as the supply must be up there in the millions?

hm

 

Isnt definitive.... but wikipedia says...

 

Upon release, Spawn #1 sold 1.7 million copies, still a record for an independent comic book.

That number has been mentioned a few times on here, so sounds right. But no matter how overproduced it may be, I still love that #1 cover.

This is not a direct quote, but I was at a convention in Tulsa, OK in the mid 90s and overheard McFarlane say something like "I didn't know how Spawn #1 is ever going to be worth anything. I still have a warehouse full of them."

 

So, the number sold and the number printed may not be the same...

That could also mean that somewhere there is still a warehouse full of 9.8s.
