Slaughterhouse-Five

Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time, slipping helplessly between the mundane moments of his life as an optometrist, his abduction by Tralfamadorian aliens, and the shattering firebombing of Dresden during World War II. This literary science fiction novel weaves a fractured yet darkly comic anti-war narrative, following Billy’s resigned acceptance of fate through the refrain “so it goes.” A prisoner of war, a time traveler, and a survivor of atrocity, his story examines the absurdity of conflict and the search for meaning in a chaotic world.

This first volume of the Untitled series brings Kurt Vonnegut’s classic to the comics and graphic novels medium for the first time. Adapted by Eisner Award-winning writer Ryan North with artist Albert Monteys, the edition remains a faithful literary adaptation that captures the novel’s surreal tone and enduring emotional weight.
