Worlds’ End Patron # 35 (illustrated by Kai Martin)

Within the Sandman Universe there are a lot of characters that I wish we knew more of their history and backstory. This is one of those characters.

Brant Tucker wanders throughout Worlds’ End, in between listening to tales told by the patrons of the inn.

This small creature is huddled amongst several others of his kind and are startled by the thunder and lightning.

I would love to know what these characters are and why they are trapped in the inn. Why are they so frightened by the lightning?

This little creature appears in Sandman # 55, on page 1 in panel 7.

Kai did a fantastic job making this character appear frightened. He is clearly disturbed by the lightning. There are small details like the drops of wine splashing out of the cup gives the impression of the character shivering at the sight of the lightning.
