“Driftwood”

In "Driftwood," a poignant reunion unfolds when Della, still carrying the weight of a past unspoken love, crosses paths with Sam years after their shipboard romance ended. Now grieving the loss of Mary, the woman he was set to marry, Sam begins to reevaluate his feelings—especially when Della’s quiet words hint at a secret she may be keeping about Mary’s fatal accident. Art by Arthur Peddy, inks by Bernard Sachs, and lettering by Ira Schnapp bring emotional depth to this bittersweet tale, with a cover by Dick Giordano that captures the story’s quiet tension.

At the end of a shipboard romance, Della feels spurned when she tells Sam he loves her, but he can't say it back to her. Now they meet years later with Sam mourning over the death of Mary, who had been driving to Lake City to marry him when her car went off the road. Sam sees Della a lot during the next few weeks and realizes he now does love Della. But then something Della says makes Sam realize that Della knows more about Mary's death than he realized.
