“How the Fighting Giants Won Their Name”

In "How the Fighting Giants Won Their Name," a 1942 Camp Comics gem, Sy's romantic misadventures take a literal turn when he gets his latest crush's name inked on his chest—only to scramble when his first love returns, demanding answers. With help from his friend Clarence and a dubious hair tonic, Sy's trying to hide his past in plain sight, all while the name on his chest keeps changing. Written and illustrated by Walt Kelly, this humorous, character-driven tale captures the charm and wit of early comic storytelling, with Kelly’s distinctive art bringing the antics to life.
