BOOM! Studios Debuts New Slaughterhouse-Five Graphic Novel Trailer
Sep 21, 2020
BOOM! Studios today revealed a new trailer for Slaughterhouse-Five, the historic graphic novel adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's American classic and one of the world’s seminal anti-war novels. Slaughterhouse-Five is faithfully presented in graphic novel form for the first time by Eisner Award-winning writer Ryan North (How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Albert Monteys (Universe!).
Available now everywhere books are sold, Slaughterhouse-Five has earned acclaim from all corners with starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Library Journal, along with rave reviews from acclaimed authors such as Kieron Gillen (Once & Future), Evan Narcisse (Rise of The Black Panther), Al Ewing (We Only Find Them When They’re Dead), Chip Zdarsky (Sex Criminals) and more.

...opened a successful optometry business
...built a loving family
...witnessed the firebombing of Dresden
...traveled to the planet Tralfamadore
...met Kurt Vonnegut
...come unstuck in time.
Billy Pilgrim’s journey 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 fallibly human.
Kurt Vonnegut’s black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America’s attention in The Sirens of Titan in 1959, and established him as “a true artist” (The New York Times) with Cat’s Cradle in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene declared, “one of the best living American writers.” Kurt Vonnegut died in 2007.
Slaughterhouse-Five is the latest release from BOOM!
