Something else it tries to never do is justify Dahmer, but the evidence of his childhood is very interesting, and is certainly enough to dispel the tabloid reductio-ad-absurdum of 'he's gay, he liked dead animals, so he needed to kidnap, control, kill and eat kids'. It isn't, and never tries to be, a full biography of a serial killer - but it is still very interesting to see how a guy called Jeff becomes a man called Jeffrey Dahmer, from the point of view of a guy who went to high school with him, and shared his formative years. Such a trinity is hard to find, unfortunately, but it's what we practically get in this brilliant graphic novel. The motherlode when it comes to graphic novels seems to me to be a great story, told in the best way possible, by the best person for the job.
Summary: An excellent biographical look back at the beginnings of a serial killer.
