When Lucifer retires from his role as ruler of Hell, Dream becomes the unlikely caretaker of the Key To Hell. Shortly after Dream takes possession of the key, emissaries from various cultures and pantheons gather in hopes of obtaining the ownership of Hell for their own uses.

This woman is one of those emissaries.

She is one of many who is waiting for Dream’s decision regarding the ownership of Hell.

This Emissary appears in a large gathering of the emissaries in Sandman # 27, on page 5.

Serial Killer # 49 (illustrated by Nicole Ingram)

In Sandman # 14, a host of serial killers descend upon a quiet hotel for a convention for people who take pleasure in killing others.

This convention is eerily similar to other conventions, both professional and fan conventions in the sense that they have panels and discussions regarding a variety of topics relating to death and killing.

This particular serial killer attended the opening ceremonies of the convention where Nimrod gives his speech, laying down the rules of the convention.

This Serial Killer appears in Sandman # 14, on page 13, in panel 5.

Creature In The Woods (illustrated by Kai Martin)

Dead Raven (illustrated by Max Rugers)

After the death of her kittens, the storyteller cat felt betrayed by her humans and that she was subordinate to her humans.

She prayed to the darkness and to the king of cats and she dreamed.

She journeyed into The Dreaming and encountered a Dead Raven who asked her why she came to the Heart Of The Dreaming. She explained that she came for justice, revelation and wisdom.

The Raven explained that she would not find justice or wisdom in dreams, but she might find revelation, but it would take a strong heart to find it. He told her to go to the mountain. In the mountain lived the Cat of Dreams.

The Dead Raven appears in Sandman # 18, on page 10 and 11.

Corpse # 6 (illustrated by Kai Martin)

In The Kindly Ones, Thessaly found Lyta Hall as she wandered the streets aimlessly after the supposed death of her son. She took her back to her apartment and placed her in a protection circle because she knew, with the events that had been put into motion, Morpheus would be searching for Lyta, possibly to kill her.

Thessaly fell asleep and dreams of people hanging from silver chains, hooks puncturing their skin and she feels a flicker of sadness and regret.

When she awakes she sees Dream standing before her.

The dream is something very reminiscent of the Hellraiser films, but I suspect that Thessaly has never seen those movies. Perhaps this is a nightmare of remembrance of things past…or perhaps it is simply a nightmare.

This character is one of the corpses hanging in Thessaly’s nightmare.

He appears in Sandman # 65, on page 18, in panel 3.

Demon # 268 (illustrated by Anna Hybsier)

In the fourth chapter of Preludes And Nocturnes, Dream visits Hell to retrieve his stolen helmet.

After reclaiming his helm, as he readies himself to leave, Lucifer challenges Morpheus, telling him that there are millions of demons surrounding him and that he has no power in Hell.

Dream counters and says “What power would Hell have if those here imprisoned were not able to dream of Heaven.”

The crowds of demons part and let him pass, contemplating his words.

This demon is one of the residents of Hell who listened to Morpheus’ speech. He appears in Sandman # 4, on page 23, in panel 2.

Demon # 362 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

In P. Craig Russell’s adaptation of Dream Hunters, a Fox and a Badger make a wager to see who can make the Monk leave his small temple.

They each try a variety of methods to convince the Monk to leave and nothing seems to sway him.

One evening the Badger created an illusion in which an army of demons surround the temple and shout that if the Monk doesn’t flee they will eat his flesh.

The Monk exits the temple and expresses his unhappiness with these tricks and chases the “demons” away with a torch. Where the demons once stood a badger remained. The Monk threw the torch and singed the tail of the Badger.

This was the last time the Badger attempted to trick the Monk into leaving his temple.

This Demon is one of the Demons that the Badger created in order to scare away the Monk.

Born Again Christian Serial Killer (illustrated by Kai Martin)

In The Dolls House, Rose Walker and Gilbert find themselves in a hotel on their search for her missing brother.

On this particular night, the hotel is filled with people attending a Cereal Convention, which turns out to be a serial killer convention.

Like any convention, there are special guests and panels. This man is part of a panel regarding religion and killing. One panelist believes that he is god and that he kills people to end their suffering and to give them a new life in Heaven. Another believes that God is telling him to kill people. This man, a born-again Christian, kills because he is doing the “bidding of the lord.” He kills people with his “hammer,” which I suspect is not really a hammer, but maybe it is.

He appears in Sandman # 14, on page 18, in panel 1.

This is a nice portrait from Kai. I really like the resemblance to a certain so called “Politian.”

Dead Woman # 27 (illustrated by Anna Hybsier)

Orpheus went into the depths of the Underworld to rescue Eurydice. As he approached the throne room of Hades and Persephone he encountered a large gathering of the dead.

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? Is it a natural fear of thunder and lightning or is there a history between lightning and these characers.
