Slaughterhouse-Five Deluxe Edition

Illustrated by Albert Monteys
Experience the timeless American classic in its most collectible form!

Billy Pilgrim’s journey in Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five is at once a farcical look at the horror and tragedy of war where children are placed on the frontlines and die, and a moving examination of what it means to be fallibly human.

So it goes.

Now you can experience Eisner Award–winning writer Ryan North's (How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler) and Eisner Award–nominated artist Albert Monteys's (Universe!) faithful adaptation like never before with this special edition of the critically acclaimed graphic novel, remastered into a premium deluxe format for the very first time!
Ryan North is a Canadian writer and computer programmer well known for his award-winning work across webcomics, graphic novels, and books. He is the creator of the long-running webcomic Dinosaur Comics and has written for numerous major comic series, including Marvel's The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and Fantastic Four, and the Adventure Time comic series.

Kurt Vonnegut was an American novelist, satirist, and artist known for his darkly humorous and often science fiction-influenced works like Slaughterhouse-Five and Cat's Cradle. His writing frequently explored themes of war, social issues, and humanity through a blend of satire, gallows humor, and postmodern techniques. Vonnegut was also a pacifist and humanist whose experiences as a prisoner of war during World War II, including surviving the firebombing of Dresden, profoundly influenced his writing.

Albert Monteys writes and draws comics in Barcelona where he lives with his wife and two kids. He spent the first twenty years of his career working as a satirical cartoonist until he got fed up of trying to do good caricatures of politicians. In 2014, he started his digital science-fiction series UNIVERSE! that is published at Panel Syndicate, along with many other amazing comics. In 2017, he was the artist for Solid State, a graphic novel by Matt Fraction that adapted the songs of Jonathan Coulton. His current projects are more issues of UNIVERSE! and trying to remember what he did with his free time.
