Born in Chicago in the 1950s, Carol Tyler is a cartoonist who bridged underground and alternative comics with her debut in Weirdo magazine in 1987: collections such as The Job Thing (1993) and Late Bloomer (2005) followed. In 2015, Fantagraphics published Soldier's Heart, her Eisner Award-nominated biography of her father, tracing his return from WWII and how his trauma impacted his family. Fab4 Mania (Fantagraphics, 2018), based on her 1965 diary, is about her teenage obsession with the Beatles. In recent years, she has taught Sequential Art at the University of Cincinnati's College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning. She is a CXC Master Cartoonist and a Slate Studio Prize winner. In 2023, Married To Comics, a documentary about Tyler's life with her husband and fellow cartoonist Justin Green (1945–2022), won rave reviews.
