Told in the voice of its 13-year-old author, Fab 4 Mania is a facsimile of the diary that she kept throughout 1965, and is brimming with rich period details, humour, and insight.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50040793596177,"sku":"CIN1683960610VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50399205720337,"sku":"CIN1683960610A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50942187241745,"sku":"GOR010040790","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51693610303761,"sku":"CIN1683960610G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1683960610.jpg?v=1781170952"},{"product_id":"late-bloomer-book-carol-tyler-9781560976646","title":"Late Bloomer","description":"But over the years her status as a working mother has drastically curtailed her ability to set aside time for her cartooning. Thus each rare new story from her pen has been greeted with hurrahsas well they should be, because she's one of the most skillful, caustic, and emphatic cartoon storytellers of her generation. This new book presents the biggest, richest and most delightful collection of Tyler's work to date featuring many new and previously unpublished works In Migrant Mother Tyler tells the grueling story of a cross-country trip with the flu and her terrible twos toddler using her trademark combination of rueful humor and emphathy. The full-color Just A Bad Seed is a meditation on a problem child who might not be such a problem after all, while The Return of Mrs. Kite chronicles a family crisishow her widowed grandmother fell in with a beau of questionable character. Gone (also in full color) is a stirring meditation on all kinds of loss, and Why I'm A-gin' Southern Men is a classic rant that dissects that particular breed of maleor at least a certain subspecies of exeswith pitiless wit Other stories include Sweet Miss Lee (a reminiscence of an immigrant roommate and her fate), There's Something Wrong with a Perfect Lawn (a tale of suburban obsessiveness), Little Crosshatch Mind (where artistic impulses come from), and Uncovered Property (discovering the power of sexuality at an early age) Tyler works equally well in delicately crisp black-and-white penstrokes and lushly watercolored paintings (this book will feature 60 pages of her stunning full-color work). All told, the three-dozen stories here will cement Tyler's reputation as a cartoonist to be reckoned with. 136 pages, 60 pages in color.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50382741340433,"sku":"CIN1560976640G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1560976640.jpg?v=1751087139"},{"product_id":"job-thing-book-carol-tyler-9781560971115","title":"The Job Thing","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52550477807889,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52550478627089,"sku":"CIN1560971118A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781560971115.jpg?v=1760700819"},{"product_id":"ephemerata-book-carol-tyler-9798875001437","title":"The Ephemerata","description":"\u003cb\u003eDrawing upon her own bereavement, renowned comics artist and writer Carol Tyler emerges from a decade long period of grief to create an allegorical masterpiece.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNPR's Books We Love 2025\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLA Times Book Prize for Graphic Novels\/Comics 2025 FINALIST\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCartoonist Studio Prize for Long-Form Comics 2026 NOMINEE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDuring collisions between life and death, estrangement and loss, Carol Tyler turned to her pen to face facts and extract meaning from the oddly sacred experience.

Combining art and text in multiple ways -- in the traditional comics panel grid, as words-and-illustration, as organically flowing images surrounded by floating text -- she depicts the inner monologue of a fallible human being grappling with questions of profound relevance. Tyler's memoirist skills also rise to the fore, excavating and colliding scenes from her history, delineating with sensitive intuition ways in which the inevitability of grief is built into our lives and our loves. To struggle in the face of loss is a universal experience. To turn it into this compassionate, deep and beautiful book takes a true artist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53146877493521,"sku":"GOR014775021","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53612912247057,"sku":"NGR9798875001437","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798875001437.jpg?v=1771677833"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-carol-tyler.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
