Although, there are also a few Hitler jokes that are not addressed. I will state that Backderf does address the actions of him and his friends and describes their mockery as "inexcusable" in the "Notes" section, so it is not left totally unchallenged. Objectively, this is a non-fiction novel that displays the behavior of a serial killer from the 70's, so I would not expect political correctness to be a present theme within the story.
The "Dahmer Fan Club" also would join in. Backderf recounts the many times Dahmer mocked his mother's home decorator who had cerebral palsy as well as imitated his mother's physical fits due to her anxiety. I'm compelled to note that there is A TON of abelism in this novel.
If you are a true crime aficionado, this graphic novel is absolutely a quick, worthwhile read. I found Backderf's contributions to the timeline of Jeffery Dahmer's adolescence and his actions which could act as predictors to Dahmer's future transgressions to be extremely valuable.
The perspective of a past friend of a serial killer is not one we are often exposed to, let alone in more than a brief interview at the time of the killer's arrest.

I've been interested in this story since I saw the movie trailer. I picked the graphic novel up as I had no idea when I would find the time to travel to see the movie, but I'm pleased I experienced the story in it's original form first. "Dahmer is probably a serial killer by now!" - Derf Backderf, 1988Ĥ.5 stars.
