My Friend Dahmer: Derf Backderf (Graphic Biographies)

Product Information

Strip je kasnije pretvoren u puno dulji rad (cca 220 stranica) tako da mi je sada on na repertoaru. No ovo, kao samostalana cjelina, je itekako strip vrijedan vaše pozornosti. As Derf wasn't in the house to overhear them, Jeff's final interaction with his mother is entirely conjectural. I Hate Past Me: Derf doesn't hate his teenage self, per se, but he is terribly embarrassed by how ridiculously insensitive he and his friends could be.

Strips from The City were collected in The City: The World’s Most Grueling Comic Strip (SLG Publishing, 2003) and a four-volume series of comic books, True Stories ( Alternative Comics, 2015, 2016, 2018). This is an excellent graphic novel, it depicts the high-school years of Jeffrey Dahmer as observed by one of his then friends. The art inside is much better than the one in the cover so do not be dissuaded by the simple cover. The narrative is passionate and authentic. I disagree with other reviewers about the writer's objective to portray himself as a good person and to put the blame on everyone else. To the contrary, he does not conceal the fact that he and his friends contributed to Dahmer's misery, and the author's shame is apparent. It's about deconstructing darkness and tracing the origins of destructive personalities. Dahmer as a teen wasn't so different from kids we all knew in high school. As a youth services librarian, I read a lot of books for and about teens. And a lot of them (perhaps especially the ones I gravitate to) are about outsiders. Dahmer could have been just another outsider kid - one with a messed up family, one with repressed sexuality, one who made jokes out of things that are not funny. Exploring his history helps me to think about how I can influence teens for the good. About how I can influence humanity for the good. And how close we all are to the darkness. To letting our own destructive tendancies to go too far.Attention Whore: What Lloyd Figg, with all his Ax-Crazy antics (though no doubt a troubled kid with serious issues 'upstairs') likely turned out to be. Drowning My Sorrows: The more and more his necrophiliac fantasies take shape, the more and more Jeff depends on the bottle to keep them at bay. Soon he is showing up late to class (if at all) and stinking of booze, but the faculty at Revere are apparently none the wiser. In the middle of the book, Jeff comes across a dog in the street and takes it into the woods with the intention of killing it. Jeff can't bring himself to go through with it, throws his knife to the ground, and lets the dog go free. Derf notes this is the last time Jeff will ever show mercy.

The book covers Dahmer and Derf’s last years of high school in bucolic Bath, Ohio, one of the safest neighborhoods in the state. And by the end of the summer following their senior year, both have discovered their passion — Derf has become a fledgling artist, Dahmer a practicing psychopath and murderer. Drawn in high-def contrast, with his slightly-grotesque portrayal of the human form, this book serves as the universal countering force of Dahmer’s own dark obsession. The art’s creation only made possible as a result of the acts it chronicles and the effect it had on the artist. Ignatz Awards". Small Press Expo. 2012-10-08.

Irony: A lesson of sorts in not judging books by their covers; Lloyd Figg makes a big show of being a huge psycho edgelord while Jeff looks relatively normal and well-behaved (even Derf in the lunchroom lampshades ◊ this when Figg's having a meltdown) in comparison... but it is the latter who becomes a genuine Serial Killer.

Derf couldn't remember what the walls, carpets, and furnishings in the Dahmer house looked like, so everything inside is based on the general fashions of the time period. This material doesn’t form well-versed context to even try understand how strange person as Dahmer would feel as a student. Nothing revealing. If only someone had noticed…or what if someone had spoken up…There must be a whole town contemplating those questions even today—years later. *more chills* a b c d Grossman, Lev (2012-03-28).
