Synopsis for "Dr. Death Final Act"
Over the course of this 4-issue story-arc, set circa 1938-Aug: The Sandman encountered and defeated Dian's cousin Lucy's lothario boyfriend Raymond Kessler, (Dr Death, sort of, without ever actually calling himself that), a fake doctor who was writing prescriptions with a contact-poison ink. The poison was a base compound, activated by the acids in alcohol, so that the victim's next adult beverage would cause his stomach to boil and his esophagus to blister causing suffocation. Kessler lives to be arrested and tried.
