Next Up Visiting Artist: Carol Tyler

Soldier's Heart by Carol Tyler

Carol Tyler is a painter, educator, comedian, and eleven-time Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist known for her autobiographical stories, such as Soldier’s Heart. She has received multiple honors for her work including The Center for Cartoon Studies/Slate Cartoonist Studio Prize, the Ohio Arts Council Excellence Award, and she was declared a Master Cartoonist at the 2016 Cartoon Crossroads Columbus Festival at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum. Carol’s autobiographical stories reflect her struggles as an artist, worker, wife and mother. The legendary cartoonist Robert Crumb describes her work as having “…the extremely rare quality of genuine, authentic heart. Hers are the only comics that ever brought me to the verge of tears.” Cartoonist Chris Ware refers to her as “…one of the true greats of the original Underground Comix generation.”
