Party Guest # 17 (illustrated by Ron Chan)

This man was at a party attended by Prez Rickard during the third year of his presidency.

He appears in Sandman # 54, page 11, panel 5. He is in the background standing in the doorway.

He appears to be a guest, but it’s possible that he could be a Secret Service agent although that seems unlikely since there doesn’t appear to be any Secret Service agents near Prez at this party.

I love this drawing. Ron did a great job giving this character personality. I’m guessing this Party Guest either doesn’t know anyone at the party or his wife is off talking to some rich and handsome Senator, leaving this guy to mope around by himself…or perhaps he is a Secret Service Agent unhappy that Prez is not properly protected at this party. There are so may possibilities for this mysterious character...
