Kurt Vonnegut

Ryan North

With Kurt Vonnegut’s seminal anti-war story, Slaughterhouse-Five, Eisner Award-winning writer Ryan North (Unbeatable Squirrel Girl) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Albert Monteys (Universe!) translate a literary classic into comic book form in the tradition of A Wrinkle in Time and Fight Club 2. Billy Pilgrim has read Kilgore Trout and opened a successful optometry business. Billy Pilgrim has built a loving family and witnessed the firebombing of Dresden. Billy Pilgrim has traveled to the planet Tralfamadore and met Kurt Vonnegut. Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time. Slaughterhouse-Five is at once a farcical look at the horror and tragedy of war where children are placed on the frontlines and die (so it goes), and a moving examination of what it means to be a fallible human.

"A masterpiece in dark comedy and anti-war literature ,the comedy makes you laugh but afterwards you keep thinking "is reality any different?""

Arshia Dehshiri

"It certainly makes for an interesting read, the only issue I'd imagine with reading and getting into it is the story has a major tendency of jumping around from one plot point to another, so if that style isn't quite your speed then this book might just be a bit to complicated to read but other than that one factor it's still a real entertaining story."

"This should take you around 4 hours and 16 minutes to read at 200 words per minute."
