I'm compelled to note that there is A TON of abelism in this novel. If you are a true crime aficionado, this graphic novel is absolutely a quick, worthwhile read. I found Backderf's contributions to the timeline of Jeffery Dahmer's adolescence and his actions which could act as predictors to Dahmer's future transgressions to be extremely valuable. The perspective of a past friend of a serial killer is not one we are often exposed to, let alone in more than a brief interview at the time of the killer's arrest.
I've been interested in this story since I saw the movie trailer. I picked the graphic novel up as I had no idea when I would find the time to travel to see the movie, but I'm pleased I experienced the story in it's original form first. 'Dahmer is probably a serial killer by now!' - Derf Backderf, 1988Ĥ.5 stars.
