Dead Man # 102 (illustrated by Lars Brown)

And here we have another Dead Man from Hades.

When Orpheus is singing to Lord Hades and Queen Persephone his voice is carried throughout the underworld. In Tartarus, the deepest level of the Underworld this dead man is standing on the shore of a river, perhaps watching Tantalus reaching for some fruit from a low hanging tree.

This dead man can be seen in The Sandman Special # 1 (The Song Or Orpheus) on page 34, in panel 4. He is standing naked at the edge of the river.

This is another great portrait from Lars. He’s drawn several dead people and each one is completely unique and I really like that. This dead man looks so miserable.
