The bone-chilling graphic novel that inspired the major motion picture starring Ross Lynch as Jeffrey Dahmer.
In My Friend Dahmer, a haunting and original graphic novel, writer-artist BackDerf creates a surprisingly sympathetic portrait of a disturbed young man struggling against the morbid urges emanating from the deep recesses of his psyche--a shy kid, a teenage alcoholic, and a goofball who never quite fit in with his classma.
To Derf Backderf, Jeff was a much more complex figure: a high school Friend with whom he had shared classrooms, hallways, and car rides.
To the public, Dahmer was a monster who committed unthinkable atrocities.
In 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer--the most notorious serial killer since Jack the Ripper--seared himself into the American consciousness.
