![]() A shy kid sucked inexorably into madness while the adults in his life fail him. The Dahmer recounted here, although universally regarded as an inhumane monster, is a lonely oddball who, in reality, is all too human. What emerges is a surprisingly sympathetic portrait of a young man struggling helplessly against the urges, some ghastly, bubbling up from the deep recesses of his psyche. In these pages, Backderf tries to make sense of Jeffery Dahmer, the future serial killer with whom he shared classrooms, hallways, libraries and car rides. My Friend Dahmer is the hauntingly original graphic novel by Derf Backderf, the award winning political cartoonist. ![]()
