He passes through them in order to stand before their thrones.
To plead the rulers of the Underworld to release his deceased wife, Orpheus sang a song about love and loss.
This Dead Man is one of the many dead men who heard Orpheus' song.
He appears in The Song Of Orpheus from The Sandman Special # 1 on page 33, in panel 1.
This portrait from Jeremy is haunting. I never dream about art and yet after Jeremy gave me this portrait I had nightmares. I remember nothing of the dream except that I kept seeing this portrait. I think the starkness of this character and the grays and emancipated look of the body gives the character a frightening appearance, one that clearly induces nightmares…in me, at least.
Happy Halloween!!!
