Book Release Party Guest # 17 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

When Richard Madoc’s book “And My Love She Gave Me Light” was released in May 1987 a book release party was held.

This man was one of the people who attended the party. He is standing near the sign featuring the cover of the novel.

This man appears in Sandman # 17 on page 12, in panel 1.

I like this portrait from Max. While this character does not appear to be as happy and carefree as he does in the published comic, I like the depth of this portrait. I enjoy the use of the heavy blacks and the white out to add highlights. It’s a great portrait.
