Our comics, manga, and books are standard retail items and—unless otherwise expressly stated for a specific item—are not sold as flawless collector’s items or graded copies.
All items from our online store are also part of our in-store selection. They are typically displayed unboxed on the shelves so that our customers can view and browse through them. If there are multiple copies of a title available, some of them may still be in their original packaging or shrink-wrapped.
Comics and books, in particular, sometimes arrive with minor signs of wear resulting from production, shipping, or storage—such as fine scratches, creases, or slight visual imperfections. Unfortunately, we have no control over this. Over time, additional minor wear may also occur due to display in the store.
If you place particular importance on the item being in the best possible condition or in its original packaging, please contact us before placing your order. We’ll be happy to take a closer look at the item you’re interested in and can send you photos in advance if needed.
Of course, statutory warranty rights remain unaffected by this.
World Literature in the Form of a Graphic Novel
In 1969, Kurt Vonnegut published *SLAUGHTERHOUSE-5 OR THE CHILDREN’S CRUSADE*, a literary monument among anti-war novels in which he recounts his own experiences as an American prisoner of war. During World War II, he survived the horrific air raids on Dresden while trapped in the basement of a slaughterhouse. SLAUGHTERHOUSE-5 is both a farcical look at the horror and tragedy of war—in which children are sent to the front lines and to their deaths—and a moving exploration of what it means to be a fallible human being: Billy Pilgrim has read Kilgore Trout and has opened a successful business in the field of optometry. Billy Pilgrim has started a loving family and witnessed the bombing of Dresden. Billy Pilgrim has traveled to the planet Tralfamadore and met Kurt Vonnegut. Billy Pilgrim is detached from all time.
Based on Kurt Vonnegut’s moving anti-war story *SLAUGHTERHOUSE-5*, Eisner Award-winning writer Ryan North (*THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL*) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Albert Monteys (*UNIVERSE!*) adapt this literary classic into the language of comics.
