Thus was the case with S\/Sgt. Charles W. Tyler, who late in life began to open up to his daughter Carol. By looking at him, you would never know that he was wounded in combat, but as she states at the beginning: “Not all scars are visible.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe narrative unfolds over 364 pages of masterfully crafted drawings. Stunning ink and color washes weave through the decades: Tyler examines the past in sepia, confronts reality in stark black \u0026amp; white and uses rich color to convey the moods and fragility of the present. She overlays her father’s memories with her own, while struggling to understand her troubled life: a failed marriage, a teenage daughter on the edge, and an elderly father and mother. Literate, emotionally engaging and historically accurate, \u003ci\u003eSoldier’s Heart\u003c\/i\u003e is a magnificent achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eSoldier's Heart\u003c\/i\u003e collects Tyler's hardcover series \u003ci\u003eYou'll Never Know\u003c\/i\u003e, serialized between 2009 and 2012, and contains nearly thirty new pages of additional content.\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eBorn in Chicago in the 1950s, \u003cb\u003eCarol Tyler\u003c\/b\u003e is a cartoonist who bridged underground and alternative comics with her debut in \u003ci\u003eWeirdo\u003c\/i\u003e magazine in 1987: collections such as \u003ci\u003eThe Job Thing\u003c\/i\u003e (1993) and \u003ci\u003eLate Bloomer\u003c\/i\u003e (2005) followed.
