Ghost Boy # 5 (illustrated by Anna Hybsier)

In Season Of Mists, Lucifer decides that he is no longer interested in being the ruler of Hell. He empties Hell of all the demons and tortured souls and locked the doors behind him as he leaves. Some of them returned to where they died, others went to visit their living relatives.

This Ghost Boy returned to St. Hilarion’s School For Boys.

He can be seen watching Charles Rowland as he reads a book one evening.

The Ghost Boy appears in Sandman # 25, page 7, panel 1.

I absolutely love this portrait from Anna. It is a drastic contrast to her other portraits. I love the starkness of this portrait. It’s wonderfully perfect in its simplicity. I love the faint blues that Anna used on the ghost boy’s face. This is one of my favorite portraits from Anna.
