Families of Dahmer Victims Lose Suit Over Comic Book

Relatives of Jeffrey L. Dahmer’s victims lost a court suit against a comic book about the serial killer.

Judge James P. Doherty ruled Friday that the eight relatives cannot base a claim on names and likenesses of people who are dead.

The suit was aimed at “Jeffrey Dahmer, an Unauthorized Biography of a Serial Killer,” a $2.50 comic book produced by Boneyard Press of Champaign, Ill.
