This comic does not exist to quell the morbid curiosity we instinctively feel in regards to the stomach-churning depravity of Jeffery Dahmer’s crimes. The first thing to mention here is that Backderf released this graphic novel under the preface that “if you’re a ‘serial killer fan’, this book isn’t for you”. Hard to see someone like that as being even close to human, right? And that’s precisely what makes Backderf’s graphic novel, My Friend Dahmer, so uncomfortably compelling. He was perhaps one of the most depraved serial killers of the 20th century, known for luring young men into his home, where he would sexually abuse them, brutally murder them and cannibalise their remains. If you haven’t heard of Jeffery Dahmer, consider yourself lucky.
