Thug # 2 (illustrated by John Carmine)

One evening Rose went to see Hal’s show and was walking home when she was assaulted by three thugs.

Their intentions for Rose were not pure or honorable and so thankfully Gilbert was not far behind her and was able to help keep her virtue intact.

Gilbert used his cane to beat these three thugs into submission and they ran down the street and away from Rose and Gilbert.

This Thug appears in Sandman # 11, on pages 11, 12 and 13.

John approached this portrait in a realistic manner. I think he did a great job giving this character a personality that reeks with vileness, just as in the published comic.
