Thug # 1 (illustrated by Lars Brown)

One evening Rose went to see Hal’s drag 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.

I really like Lars’ approach to this portrait. It’s a bit comical and I feel that it should be followed immediately by Gilbert’s portrait (but it won’t be). This thug is definitely getting what he deserves!!!
