Woman # 106 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

In the final chapter of A Game Of You, Barbie remembers a dream she had as she is on her way to Wanda’s funeral.

In her dream she sees Wanda and a woman she doesn’t recognize, who happens to be Death. They are standing together and Death whispers something into Wanda’s ear. They both turn and face Barbie and wave. Barbie is about to wave back, but the bus pulls into the station and she wakes up.

This woman is one of the many people at the bus station.

She appears in Sandman # 37, on page 24, in panel 1.

This is a great portrait from Max. I love the brightness of her hair in contrast to the dull red backgrounds. In the published comic, there is no details for this character and so Max was able to develop this character and give her life outside of the comic.
