Dead Man # 109 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

In The Song Of Orpheus, told in The Sandman Special # 1, Orpheus entered the Underworld, hoping to rescue Eurydice, his recently deceased wife. When he approached the throne room of Hades and Persephone, he encountered a large gathering of the dead.

In hopes of convincing Lord Hades and Queen Persephone to release his deceased wife, Orpheus sang a song about love and loss. This song caused the dead to weep.

This Dead Man is one of the many residents of the Underworld, who wept and were lifted from the ground in sadness.

He appears in The Song Of Orpheus, on page 35, in panel 2.
