The Sandman #5: Passengers

Still tracking his objects of power, Morpheus travels to Hell itself in search of his helmet. It seems it’s fallen into the hands of a higher demon, and there’s a realm of devils standing between Morpheus and his property…

Doctor Destiny escapes from Arkham Asylum forcing a passing motorist to take him to his ruby - Morpheus' Dreamstone - in a storage locker in the nearby town of Mayhew. Meanwhile Morpheus enlists the help of Scott Free (currently with the Justice League International) in his own search for the gem. Who will get to it first? And after so long is the item too powerful for either of them to wield?
