Military Doctor # 2 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

Stefan Wasserman was treated by this doctor while in the military. The doctors thought it was some form of shellshock.

This doctor appears in Sandman # 1, on page 11, in panel 2. He is on the right.

I’ve read the entire Sandman series more times than I can count and despite multiple readings and even closely examining each character I never noticed that this doctor had a curly mustache. It wasn’t until I saw Max’s portrait that I took a closer look at the published comic and realized that the doctor did indeed have a curly mustache. Max did a great job with this Military Doctor.
