Upon escaping, he must reclaim his objects of power while still in a weakened state, confronting an addict to his dream powder, the legions of Hell, and an all-powerful madman (Doctor Destiny) in the process.

The Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes

Went back and re-read this after watching the Netflix series. I think I enjoyed it more this time as watching the show helps to clarify a few things in the story. An excellent read, particularly when you factor in that this may be the weakest book of the series. I say that also as someone who very rarely reads graphic novels.
