| Notes : | My Friend Dahmer is a 2012 graphic novel and memoir by artist John "Derf" Backderf about his teenage friendship with Jeffrey Dahmer, who later became a serial killer. The book evolved from a 24-page, self-published version by Backderf in 2002. The original self-published comic book was adapted and staged as a one-act play by the NYU Theater Department.
The final 224-page incarnation was nominated for Ignatz, Harvey, and Reuben 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 for Time, named My Friend Dahmer as one of the "top five non-fiction books of the year". The book has been translated into 14 languages.
A film adaptation of My Friend Dahmer, directed by Marc Meyers and 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. | Edition number is not mentioned on the comic. | |
