Old Woman # 4 (illustrated by Kai Martin)

When Ellie Marsten wakes in 1988, seventy two years after she fell asleep, she is in a charity home for those suffering from the sleeping sickness. There are many other people in the same ward as she is.

This woman is one of the people in the hospital.

She appears in Sandman # 1, on page 33, panel 2.

This old woman was illustrated by Kai. He took a straight forward approach with this character, but made her appear a bit more realistic than in the published comic. She seems very concerned, perhaps because she didn’t realize she had grown so old while she slept her life away.
