Derf Backderf - Kent State ShootingDerf Backderf, is an American cartoonist. He is most famous for his graphic novels, especially My Friend Dahmer, the international bestseller which won an Angoulême Prize, and earlier for his comic strip The City, which appeared in a number of alternative newspapers from 1990 to 2014. In 2006 Derf won the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for cartooning. Backderf has been based in Cleveland, Ohio, for much of his career.On May 4, 1970, the Ohio National Guard gunned down unarmed college students protesting the Vietnam War at Kent State University. In a deadly barrage of 67 shots, four students were killed and nine shot and wounded. It was the day America turned guns on its own children—a shocking event burned into our national memory.The fatal shootings triggered immediate and massive outrage on campuses around the country. More than four million students participated in organized walkouts at hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools, the largest student strike in the history of the United States at that time. It was a day that shocked the nation and helped turn the tide of public opinion against America's war in Vietnam.A few days prior, 10-year-old Derf Backderf saw those same guardsmen patrolling his nearby hometown, sent in by the governor to crush a trucker strike.Using the journalism skills he employed on My Friend Dahmer and Trashed, Backderf has conducted extensive interviews and research to explore the lives of these four young people and the events of those four days in May, when the country seemed on the brink of tearing apart.In this award-winning and powerful graphic novel, Derf Backderf takes us back to the age of the Vietnam War, Richard Nixon, Woodstock, and the Cold War and explores, in words and images, a scene of tragedy: the campus of Kent State University, where National Guard Troops attacked unarmed protestors and killed four students (Allison Beth Krause, age 19, Jeffrey Glenn Miller, age 20, Sandra Lee Scheuer, age 20, and William Knox Schroeder, age 19).Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

The graphic novel that inspired the critically acclaimed, bone-chilling major motion picture starring Ross Lynch as Jeffrey DahmerNational bestseller!An ALA/YALSA Alex Award WinnerAngoulême Revelation Award WinnerNamed a “Book of the Year” by Time, The Village Voice, A.V. Club, comiXology, Boing Boing, Publishers Weekly, MTV Geek, and more!You only think you know this story. But the truth is more shocking and disturbing than any fiction.In 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer—the most notorious serial killer since Jack the Ripper—seared himself into the American consciousness. To the public, Dahmer was a monster who committed unthinkable atrocities. To Derf Backderf, “Jeff” was a much more complex figure: a high school friend with whom he had shared classrooms, hallways, and car rides.In My Friend Dahmer, a haunting and original graphic novel, writer-artist Backderf creates a surprisingly sympathetic portrait of a disturbed young man struggling against the morbid urges emanating from the deep recesses of his psyche—a shy kid, a teenage alcoholic, and a goofball who never quite fit in with his classmates.“To you Dahmer was a depraved fiend but to me he was a kid I sat next to in study hall and hung out with in the band room,” writes Backderf, whose text and images go on to show how Jeffrey Dahmer moved from fascination with roadkill and torture of animals to high-school alcoholism to mass murder. He also shows how he was shaken by his parents' stormy divorce, by his troubled mother's decision to move and leave her son alone, and by the encouragement of the Jeffrey Dahmer Fan Club (with the author as a member) to turn the outcast into a dangerous killer.With profound insight, what emerges is a Jeffrey Dahmer whom few ever really knew, and one whom readers will never forget.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement

Yuri Landman is striptekenaar, musicus en bouwer van muziekinstrumenten. Net als zovelen verloor ook hij, van de ene op de andere dag, al zijn werkzaamheden tijdens de corona-pandemie. Over zijn zoektocht naar wat er nou precies gebeurde tekende hij een graphic novel. Hij begon bij 'Totalitarisme' van Mattias Desmet, maar hoe meer hij erover las, des te kritischer hij werd op de conclusies die erin werden getrokken. Dat was het begin van een uitgebreide research-periode waarin hij alle boeken probeerde te lezen die met het onderwerp massavorming, groepspsychologie en massapsychose te maken hebben. Deze video kan gezien worden als een drieënhalf uur durend essay in bronnenonderzoek en tegelijkertijd een doorwrochte weerlegging van de conclusies van Desmet. Aan de hand van meer dan dertig boeken neemt Yuri ons stap voor stap mee in zijn meanderende zoektocht naar een mogelijk antwoord op alle vragen die al die tijd rond zijn blijven spoken. Dit alles zonder ook maar één moment in de complotten-val te trappen...

As a high schooler, the cartoonist Derf Backderf was part of a fan club that formed around one of his more eccentric friends: Jeffrey Dahmer, who eventually grew up to be one of America's most infamous serial killers. In "My Friend Dahmer," Backderf recounts what it was like growing up with Dahmer in that particular milieu, and tries to unravel the sequence of events that made Dahmer the monster he ultimately became. More recently, Backderf leant his storytellilng powers to unraveling the events that led to the shooting deaths of four students. In "Kent State: Four Dead In Ohio," Backderf traces the lives of the victims, and the political situation that eventually boiled over into violence. We'll take a look at both comics in this week's episode of Quarantined Comics.

Derf Backderf is the creator of several acclaimed graphic novels: Punk Rock & Trailer Parks, My Friend Dahmer, Trashed, and most recently Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio. We discuss his distinctive art style, the joys and challenges of accepting the adaptation of one's work into film, comics as both an established and emergent art form, and the ethics of representing violence. Backderf's work is best understood as a kind of interrogation: he is looking for answers, probing the historical record, and taking artistic risks that pay off in unexpected ways.

BASURA, de Derf Backderf (2014) es una entretenida novela gráfica que pone el acento en esa parte que no queremos ver de nuestro estilo de vida consumista y derrochador de hoy en día. El autor norteamericano, formado en las tradicionales y apreciadas daily strips de sátira política, un género que está en la base fundacional del cómic moderno a principios del siglo XX, se pasó a las novelas gráficas en 2012 con MI AMIGO DAHMER, una multipremiada obra en la que cuenta la adolescencia de un antiguo compañero suyo de clase, Jeffrey Dahmer, más tarde conocido como el carnicero de Milwakee, uno de los mayores asesinos en serie de la historia de los Estados Unidos. Con este cómic obtuvo reconocimiento internacional, prueba de lo cual es que este año se ha estrenado una película basada en él.Descárgalo AQUÍ  217 exTreBeO micropodcast (en mp3)[BOTÓN DERECHO + GUARDAR COMO]o ESCÚCHALO online pinchando directamente.Pero nos centramos hoy en la que ha sido su 2ª obra de gran extensión (240 págs.). En TRASHED (el título original en inglés puede traducirse como destrozado, hecho polvo o, incluso, sentenciado) nos encontramos con un relato de ficción pero con cierta base autobiográfica (el autor trabajó como basurero entre los 19 y los 20 años). De forma bastante acertada se encuentra un logrado equilibrio entre lo que es una lectura entretenida, incluso divertida por momentos dado el anecdotario presentado, y una crítica a todo lo que puede verse de cómo es nuestra sociedad desde el punto de vista de los desechos que generamos, lo que hacemos con ellos y cómo tratamos a quienes se encargan de quitarlos de nuestra vista.La obra comienza con un breve prólogo al estilo de Ibáñez -salvando las distancias- con una historia de la recogida de las basuras, desde el 3000 a. de C. hasta hoy; y termina, también de forma muy didáctica, con la actualidad de cómo se gestionan hoy nuestros desechos domésticos (vertederos, camiones, cifras,...) a modo de epílogo. Entre medias un entretenido relato con un joven en paro que encuentra empleo como parte del equipo de un camión de la basura. Dividido en capítulos que se corresponden con las 4 estaciones del año, lo que da material adicional para narrar divertidas y a la vez significativas anécdotas, nos retrata la fauna humana que puede visualizarse desde ese puesto de trabajo: los usuarios (todos nosotros, desechando productos y materiales todo el año sin cesar), los basureros (poco apreciados por todos, tanto por los ciudadanos como por sus acomodados jefes municipales) y los aburguesados funcionarios y gestores locales, especialmente aquellos que ostentan cargos adjudicados a dedo, muy criticados por su incompetencia e improductividad a lo largo de la obra.Backderf es heredero de ese estilo underground del que siempre será principal referente el gran Robert CRUMB. En acabado bitono (ByN con un apoyo de azul) el toque caricaturesco se pone al servicio de la narración y se combina con detalles de realismo convenientemente conseguido para reflejar la sucia realidad de la basura, ese backstage de la sociedad de consumo que se encuentra a la sombra, oculto en parte por el deslumbramiento de la publicidad y los cantos de sirena del consumismo. ¡Comprad, comprad! Seréis más felices... por un rato al menos, hasta que os hagamos desear más,... En una huída hacia adelante que no piensa en las consecuencias para el medio ambiente (y, con él, para nosotros mismos). Estamos locos.El epílogo nos cuenta detalles interesantes sobre, por ej., cómo se inventó a finales de los años 30 el camión con empaquetadora de carga trasera que hoy se utiliza por todo el mundo (apenas ha cambiado), o cómo se diseñan y gestionan los vertederos, lugares con escasas garantías para el medio ambiente y que, en algunos casos, alcanzan los 120 m de profundidad. Detalle curioso: bajo muchos metros y toneladas de basura compactada están los primeros pañales desechables que se fabricaron (hacia 1947); no sabemos cuánto tardarán en descomponerse, aún no han empezado a hacerlo...ASTIBERRI pone a nuestro alcance BASURA en español por 20 € (rústica con solapas, 240 p.).TODOS NUESTROS PODCASTS EN IVOOX(y en iTunes)

In this episode, Curt and Kevin take a break from superhuman battles of good and evil to discuss a harrowing look at a very human form of evil, and one young man's unsuccessful struggle against the darkness within: Derf Backderf's graphic novel memoir My Friend Dahmer, published by Abrams ComicArts. In recounting his experiences and relationship with Jeffrey Dahmer through high school in the 1970s, Backderf sketches a chilling portrait of a troubled loner, neglected at home and largely ignored at school. Could his murders have been avoided if even one adult had recognized the warning signs in his increasingly erratic behavior? Working from his own recollections, research and interviews with teachers and fellow classmates, Backderf shows us the demons that tormented Jeffrey Dahmer, setting him on a seemingly inevitable path to infamy as one of history's more notorious serial killers.

This week the Two Guys with PhDs (talking about comics) are back for another review episode, and this one is jam-packed with nougaty comics goodness. They begin with Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy's  deluxe edition of The Wake (DC/Vertigo). They had discussed the first couple installments of the ten-issue series on last year's publisher spotlight on recent Vertigo titles, but now they are able to plunge into the the complete story…and they do so with relish. Both Andy and Derek love the way the narrative unfolds — it's the kind of work they have come to expect from both Snyder and Murphy — although they do have their quibbles, e.g., unexpected/unlikely surprises in character development and occasional ambiguous transitions. But overall, the guys feel this is an outstanding story, an example of what Vertigo does best. Next, they turn to Derf Backderf's True Stories, Vol. 1 (Alternative Comics), the first of four — or is it five? — collections of the “True Stories” pieces culled from Backderf's comic strip, The City, between 1990 and 2014. While there are a few vignettes in this title that verge on belittlement, the collection as a whole is a discerning, satirical, and hilarious look at the state of our contemporary culture. Finally, Derek and Andy look at one of the new #1s coming out of Image Comics this month, Matt Fraction and Christian Ward's ODY-C. This is an inverted retelling of Homer's Odyssey, where genders are switched and the high seas become the far reaches of space. This is a dense, immersive narrative that requires multiple readings. Knowledge of The Odyssey isn't necessary, but it wouldn't hurt for readers to have their copies of Edith Hamilton's Mythology (or perhaps have Wikipedia) readily at hand when turning through Fraction's narrative. And Ward's art is what makes this first issue truly stand out, visually stunning and almost surreal, a nice pairing with one of the guys' favorite comics storytellers. All in all, this was a fun week of reading!

Cette semaine, on vous propose une papote sur le film "Möbius" d'Eric Rochant, sur "Loweina Laurae", le dernier album de Veence Hanao, sur la série-événement de Netflix "House of cards", et sur le roman graphique "Mon ami Dahmer" de Derf Backderf. Autour de la table, cette fois, il y a Laurent Raphaël, Christophe Erhat, Laurent Hoebrechts et Olivier Van Vaerenbergh. Avec, comme toujours maîtresse Myriam Leroy qui passe les plats, les emballe et les sert chauds bouillants.

This week Andy and Derek thrill and amaze by doing close readings of Derk Backder's graphic memoir, My Friend Dahmer, and Matt Kindt's new ongoing series, Mind MGMT. Enmeshed in the wonderful world of great art, fine storytelling, and cool spy stuff, the two guys with PhDs are in their element. Oh, they also unapologetically become shills for the podcast by pointing out their new PayPal Donate button and asking listeners to help spread the word about their show. They're like that at times.
