Carol Tyler
Carol Tyler is an American cartoonist known for her autobiographical comics.
Tyler became interested in the underground comics movement while studying art at Syracuse University in the 1970s. This interest brought her to San Francisco, where she met and married the cartoonist Justin Green.
Her first comics publication was the 1987 story "Uncovered Property", in Weirdo. Tyler's short slice-of-life stories and her distinctive artwork brought her critical attention as one of a growing number of female artists shaping the direction of underground/alternative comics in North America in the 1980s; she appeared in the influential feminist anthologies Wimmen's Comix and Twisted Sisters. Her first solo book, The Job Thing, was published in 1993. Her work became more sporadic in the 1990s, with several short stories appearing in Zero Zero and Drawn & Quarterly. A new collection, Late Bloomer, is to be released in 2005.
Tyler lives in Cincinnati, Ohio.
