You'll Never Know Book III by C Tyler

You'll Never Know Book III by C Tyler

In one of the most eagerly-anticipated graphic novels of 2012, Soldier's Heart concludes the story of Carol Tyler and her delving into her father's war experiences in a way that is both surprising and devastating -- and rather than trying to summarize this episode and thus possibly spoil it for readers, we prefer to simply offer a selection of comments on the first two installments of this autobiographical masterpiece.

Publishers Weekly: (Starred Review) In the first volume of Tyler's planned trilogy of graphic memoirs, she dug into the eruptive, violent memories of her father's WI experiences while simultaneously dealing with a husband who decided to go find himself and leave her with a daughter to raise. Book Two] is no less rich and overwhelming. Tyler gets back to the business of detailing her father's war stories -- difficult given that he is 'one of those guys who closed it off and never talked about it' -- as well as coming to terms with her already touchy parents' increasingly ornery attitudes. Closing the circle somewhat is Tyler's concern over her daughter's troubled nature, which seems to mirror her own wild past. While the language of Chicago-raised and Cincinnati-based Tyler has a winningly self-deprecating Midwestern spareness to it, her art is a lavishly prepared kaleidoscope of watercolors and finely etched drawings, all composed to look like the greatest family photo album of all time. The story's honest self-revelations and humane evocations of family dramas are tremendously moving. Tyler's book could well leave readers simultaneously eager to see the third volume, but also nervous about the traumas, home front and war front, that it might contain.

Booklist: Tyler's fluid, expressive linework, complemented by subtly overlaid watercolors, gives ideal visual expression to a narrative that's at once sensitive and hard-nosed. Decades of drawing mostly autobiographical stories have honed her skills, enabling her to produce a work that ranks in quality with the graphic memoirs of Alison Bechdel (Fun Home)and Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis).

Tyler, C.: - Carol Tyler was born and raised in Chicago and now a resident of Cincinnati. She was one of the first women to emerge from the underground comix movement. Her collection Late Bloomer, created after abandoning comics for nearly 20 years, was named in several end-of-the-year best of lists, as was the first volume of You'll Never Know, which was also nominated for two 2010 Eisner Awards (Best Writer/Artist and Best Painter/Multimedia Artist).
