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.
