Campbell (illustrated by Lars Brown)

The Worlds’ End storyline is contains five fantastic stories told by five people stranded in the Worlds’ End pub. One of these stories is told by Jim, a young sailor who was aboard a ship that was washed against some rocks and to shore during a storm at sea and the crew found themselves at Worlds’ End. Jim’s story recounts a particular event that happened while aboard the Sea Witch. One of the members of the Sea Witch crew was a man named Campbell.

Campbell was a member of the Sea Witch’s crew. Campbell was a Scottish engineer who was in charge of the engines that pumped water out of the bilges. The Captain would call him Donkeyman because prior to engines, donkeys would be used to remove water from the bilges by walking on a treadmill.

Campbell is introduced in Sandman # 53 page 6 and panel 7.

Once again Lars did a fantastic job with this character.
