Content Warnings
Graphic: Antisemitism, Blood, Death, Genocide, Gun violence, Hate crime, Murder, Racism, and Violence
Moderate: Chronic illness, Medical content, and Mental illness
The book covers Kirby's experiences in World War II and some of his encounters with German officers, hence the warnings I have included, but it is not in the majority of the book. I have put it all under "major" as this is a comic book and all the depictions are visual. The medical content shows no medical procedures but it does show a medical setting and Kirby's later in life medical issues are mentioned briefly. Mental illness refers to Kirby's PTSD / trauma after his experiences in the war, which is also touched on briefly but given a moderate not a minor as it is visually depicted.
