Demon # 409 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

After the death of The Monk, the Fox vowed revenge against the Onmyoji.

The Fox appeared before her rival, as a beautiful woman who immediately captured his heart.

He visited her house and she invited him to dine with her.

He expressed his love and desire for her, but she said that she could not be with him because he has a house and wife and mistress and even if she gave herself to him he may one day leave her to return to his own house. The Onmyoji promised to “take care of” the house, removing it as an obstacle.

She said that she also would never be able to trust him if she knew that he commanded Tengu and Oni and had in his possession the scrolls that could change her into a bird if she displeased him.

This demon is one of the creatures that is imagined as The Fox is speaking to The Onmyoji.

He appears in the P. Craig Russell version of Dream Hunters, in issue # 4, on page 17, in panel 1.

Tortured Man # 14 (illustrated by Anna Hybsier)

In Seasons Of Mists, once Remiel and Duma became the cartetakers of Hell, the dead and demons returned to their regular routines and torture.

This man assumed this role as a tortured resident of Hell…waiting to be consumed for all eternity by this monstrous demon’s insatiable appetite.

The Dog (illustrated by Max Rugers)

In “Going Inside,” the Delirium story from Endless Nights, the Homeless Man sees a bird fly into a window. He believed that the bird had a message for him attached to its leg and that the bird killed itself to prevent the message from being discovered by someone else.

The bird is then eaten by a stray dog, which only proves to the Homeless Man that the whole thing was planned.

This is the dog who ate the bird.

The dog appears in the Delirium Story from Endless Nights. He is mentioned on page 3 and appears on page 4-5.

Max included a digitally enhanced version of this portrait and so I wanted to include it here because it was pretty neat. The first image is the original hand drawn portrait. The second image is the back drawing. The third image is the digitally enhanced dog.

Prez Rickard was elected President of the United States and in the third year of his presidency he attended a party, where he was confronted by Boss Smiley.

This woman is one of the guests at the party. She appears to be having a really good time.

She appears in Sandman # 54 on page 11 in panel 5.

Citizen Of Alain’s Court # 12 (illustrated by Lars Brown)

Alain, whose court and people lived one long day, over and over, decided that he wanted to be crushed to death by a bull elephant with two beautiful virgins at the moment of orgasm.

This man is one of the people who Alain’s had discussed his idea with. He appears in Endless Nights, in the Death In Venice story on page 2 in panel 2.
