Dead Man # 6 (illustrated by Steve Rolston)

In The Sandman Special # 1, Orpheus journeys to the Underworld to rescue his recently deceased wife. Before standing before Lord Hades and Queen Persephone he encounters a throng of the dead.

This Dead Man is one of the many dead men in the Underworld.

He appears in The Song Of Orpheus, on page 31, in panel 3. He is to the far left of the panel.

Steve did a great job with this portrait. I love that he used a blue pencil when drawing this character. The blue creates a coolness that is incredibly appropriate with someone in the Underworld. I think that this character’s facial expression is perfect.

Here is Dead Man # 6…
