☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Denny the Drifter," Samm Schwartz delivers a playful, visually inventive tale where names come alive through clever, whimsical illustrations—each letter shaped to reflect the essence of the person, like Annie Oakley’s O as a bullseye or Don Quixote’s X as a windmill. With art, inks, and lettering all by Schwartz and a cover by Stan Goldberg, this 1976 Archie Comics gem turns wordplay into a visual adventure.
In "Denny the Drifter," a time-traveling oddball armed with a fly spray, a TV, and a Frisbee sets out to conquer a mountain and claim a legendary 200-pound pearl—only to find the prize is a girl named Pearl, far from the treasure he expected.
In "Famous Names," the familiar shapes of iconic names are reimagined as visual puns tied to their bearers’ legacies—Annie Oakley’s O becomes a bullseye, Don Quixote’s X a windmill—turning typography into a playful, clever portrait of fame.
