Peter Hinchcliffe's Spirit - The Sandman

After thirteen years in Hell, the spirit of Peter Hinchcliffe was expelled by a bored Lucifer Morningstar. 

With nowhere else to go, he returned—alongside other former pupils—to St. Hilarion's School for Boys in the winter of 1990. At first he saw no reason to study while dead, but his indifference vanished after a violent encounter with the former headmaster, A.N. Parkinson, who struck him so hard with a riding crop that his eyeball popped out.
