Soldier's Heart: The Campaign to Understand My WWII Veteran Father - A Daughter's Memoir by Carol Tyler

saidtheraina's review against another edition

4.0

I really like this series. Tyler does an amazing job of telling her family's story. Near the end I was definitely touched. Her aesthetic is definitely out-of-box but the story pulls you in and is so engaging. Really beautiful. A great choice for introducing history-interested grown-ups to what comics can do.

Heart-breaking and heart-swelling. Beautiful accounting of Tyler's family history, particularly re: her dad's life as a veteran. This series has a lot of meta elements, as Tyler struggles with the process of writing about her family. Definitely a winner.
