In January 2001 my webcomic was involved in a crossover with another webcomic. During the time of the crossover, we created a little navigation bar that would allow readers of both our comics to view the entire storyline, even when it jumped between websites. You can view an example of it here:

This was back when we were both using statically generated pages. When I move my archives over to Drupal, that will no longer be the case, and that navigation bar won't work.

It occurs to me, however, that I ought to be able to set up redirects that will catch people trying to access one of those urls and instead have them load up the specific page in my archives. Problem is, I can't figure out how to do it. Is there any way to set up these individual page redirects within Drupal?

you may want to look at URL Aliases.

In this way, node/1334 can be accessed using the URL example.com/pagename or whatever you want.

Enable the core Path module to allow this functionality.

... although initially it didn't.

It's important to make sure you create an alias off of the actual node, rather than off of any aliases that may have already been created by pathauto... I learned that the long way.
