When rock bands come to Milwaukee, they inevitably mention three things during their on-stage banter; beer, the pronunciation of the city's name made famous in Wayne's World (Mee-lay-wau-kay) and Jeffery Dahmer. One Response to My Friend Dahmer. My Friend Dahmer by John "Derf" Backderf. So which new graphic novel has got an eclectic mix of writers such as Robert Crumb, James Ellroy and Alison Bechdale providing effusive cover quotes? My Friend Dahmer Jeff might be my literary soul mate. M says: March 6, 2012 at 10:04 am. Powerful and honest, there's no way that a graphic novel memoir of high school years spent with serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer isn't going to be disturbing, but it could have also been gratuitous, self-serving and exploitative. As Derf Backderf pointed out to me in my interview with him (come back and read it tomorrow morning!), My Friend Dahmer never goes where you think it is going. Derf is a cool guy and has been around the old punk/ DIY artist scene in NE OH for years. Dahmer-cover My Friend Dahmer by Derf Backderf. He sent me a copy of My Friend Dahmer speculatively in anticipation of my labour and delivery. He's got a new autobiographical graphic novel out about his high-school friendship with the infamous serial murder and cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer, called My Friend Dahmer. But it's much more difficult to know who Jeffrey Dahmer was. And Dahmer is kinda my 'favorite'. In My Friend Dahmer, Derf Backderf crafts a graphic memoir of his time in high school with Jeffrey Dahmer. Here are 2 panels to enjoy; “Exorcising the Spectre of the Fake Geek Girl: Discussing Geek Culture, Gate-Keeping and Sexism” & “Derf Backderk on My Friend Dahmer”! (Abrams Comicarts, 224pp, $24.95). Everyone knows what Jeffrey Dahmer did. You only think you know this story. To Derf Backderf, “Jeff” was a much more complex figure: a high school friend with whom he had shared classrooms, hallways, and car rides. Derf Backderf's graphic novel My Friend Dahmer considers the awkward teen years of Jeffrey Dahmer, who went on to fame as a killer who trolled Milwaukee's gay community and had a taste for human flesh.
