Scotland Yard Records Clerk (illustrated by John Carmine)

In Sandman Midnight Theatre, Wesley Dodd, disguised as The Sandman, goes to England to try to solve a mystery that began with the suicide of his old friend, Linus Benchley.

His investigation leads him to Scotland Yard. He sneaks into the Records Room. At the same moment Wesley is looking through the files, the Records Clerk passes the door and finds it odd that the room is not locked. He enters the room. Wesley uses his sleeping gas to subdue the records clerk as he continues to search through the Scotland Yard files.

This is the Scotland Yard Records Clerk.

He appears in Sandman Midnight Theatre on page 23.

John did a great job with this portrait. I really like the perspective of this portrait and I like that he appears to be looking out through the corner of his eyes, as if he’s suspicious of something. That’s a nice subtle touch that really adds a lot of personality to this character.
