John Constantine: Hellblazer #112 (April 1997) Tripping on acid, Rich makes a cross-country journey to find the casket that Myrddin needs so badly, unaware that he's being followed by a crack team of Government agents. Luckily for him, the inhabitants of Abaton are around to lend him a hand.

Plot summary[]

Rich, long haired punk and true king of Britain, heads across the British Countryside - thinking he's on his way to pick up some dodgy substances for Constantine when in fact he's headed to Albion to collect the holy grail. Faerie's supernatural natives ensure that Myrddin's men fail in their attempts to follow Rich and steal the box which their master wants so badly. As Rich arrives in the cave which stores the treasured item, the spirit of Arthur awakens within him and questions the wisdom of returning the box to the real world. Jack persuedes him that this must be done and Rich returns to Constantine with the box, convinced that most of his 'trip' was bought on by illegal substances. An enraged Myrddin taunts the 'corpses' of Arthur's eternal court.

Opening the box, John and Rich are stunned to find a disembodied head inside...a talking disembodied head.
