Mein Freund Dahmer

Backderf's blending of his own memories with the factual history creates a unique perspective. I wonder what guided his choices in framing this as a memoir rather than a straightforward biography.

The art style and storytelling humanize him, but it also raises questions about understanding troubled minds. How do readers reconcile empathy with his actions?

The visual format adds a visceral layer to the narration, but I’m curious whether the author considered other mediums or if this was always the plan.
