Robert’s Workmate # 12 (illustrated by Anna Hybsier)

While Brant and Charlene are trapped in Worlds’ End, they hear stories told throughout the night as they wait for the storm to pass.

Mr. Gaheris tells a story about a man named Robert who lived in a large city that he loved very much. He worked in the city center, at a desk in a room filled with dozens of men and women who also sat at their desks doing a job similar to his.

This man is one of Robert’s workmates.

He appears in Sandman # 51 on page 12, in panel 1.

Anna did a fantastic job with this portrait. I love that she portrayed this character sitting in front of a computer doing his job. The glow of the computer screen reflected on his face is perfect and completely makes this portrait unique and awesome. This is a wonderful portrait of an incredibly obscure character within the Sandman universe.
