Volume 4, Winter 2023/24
Destination Unknown, vol. 4, continues the series’ tradition of using military writers and artists to generate new ideas on national security and military strategy through graphic representation. This is an educational project “by the warfighter for the warfighter” in every regard. Behind the scenes, the journey in making this graphic novel is as important as the unique military stories being told. The stories within this volume go right at the operational and strategic questions that the Marine Corps is wrestling with today, and they illustrate today’s Marines and their partners in the U.S. Department of Defense and beyond preparing imaginative solutions to tomorrow’s problems.
