my friend dahmer (film)
"my friend dahmer" (abrams comic arts, 2012) is the culmination of a comic book project first started in 1994, shortly after jeffrey dahmer was murdered in prison. derf's first dahmer story appeared in "zero zero" #18 (fantagraphics, july 1997). derf then pitched the project as a 100-page graphic novel, but failed to find a publisher. he then self-published a scaled-back 24-page "my friend dahmer" comic book in 2002. the original self-published comic book was nominated for an eisner award and was adapted and staged as a one-act play by the nyu theater dept. the final 224-page incarnation was nominated for ignatz, harvey, and rueben awards, received an angoulême award and was named by "time" magazine as one of the top five non-fiction books of 2012. lev grossman, book critic of "time" magazine, named "my friend dahmer" as one of the "top five non-fiction books of the year." a film adaptation of "my friend dahmer", starring ross lynch as dahmer, alex wolff as backderf, anne heche, dallas roberts and vincent kartheiser, premiered at the 2017 tribeca film festival and received a general theatrical release in the fall of 2017. the film received generally positive reviews.
