Boy At Guy Fawkes Bonfire # 8 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

When William Shakespeare and Ben Johnson walk home from a visit to the pub they encounter a group of boys building a bonfire to burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes. This happens on November 5th.

This boy can be seen in the background near the pile of wood, which will soon be a bonfire, running with his arms in the air.

He is from Sandman # 75, page 14, panel 3.

With this portrait, Max created the illusion of fire behind the boy. I really like that. It adds a cool contrast between the boy and the fire.

Max also did a painting on the back of this portrait...so here is the portrait and the back painting.
