The Journey of Marcel Grob

Published by the Naval Institute Press beginning in 2022, The Journey of Marcel Grob is a single-issue graphic novel that follows a young Frenchman conscripted into the German army during World War II. Written by Philippe Collin and Joe Johnson, with art by Sébastien Göethals, the story explores the moral complexities of a reluctant soldier caught between duty and survival. This compact, historically grounded work matters for its intimate look at a lesser-known aspect of wartime experience, rendered in a stark, expressive style by Göethals.
