My Friend Dahmer by Derf Backderf

My Friend Dahmer by Derf Backderf
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Backderf's graphic novel aboout his high school years and "friendship" with serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer is truly creepy. Dahmer was an outcast and made fun of his whole life. He was bullied in school (but never retaliated)had no friends, drank to cover his to cover his torment. Dahmer was gay in a time when it was kept a secret. His parents fought consantly and bitterly. It was this horrid life that propelled Dahmer to satisfy his urges and begin to kill. The black and white comics, the climate of his high school life and Dahmer's isms are perfect Def Backderf. The Sources contain even more information and notes on a sick, twisted Dahmer.
