Dead Man # 31 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

This Dead Man is one of the many that resides in the Underworld and encounters Orpheus when he stands before Lord Hades and Queen Persephone and implores them to return Eurydice to him.

He appears in The Sandman Special # 1, on page 31, in panel 5.

Max has a way of evoking strong emotions with this portraits and this is no exception. The darkness used as background for this portrait really creates an impression on you. I love the blank stare that this character has. This is another great portrait of one of the many residents of Hades.
