You'll Never Know, Vol. 2: Collateral Damage by Carol Tyler

janetlun's review

This is the second book of a planned trilogy. It's an illustrated memoir (can't say "graphic novel" for a non-fiction book) about her father's experiences in WWII and their effects down through years on the family. The two books are well done, and they've won all sorts of awards, but don't really grab me.

4.0

I enjoyed this as much as the first, maybe even more. I really like Tyler's illustrations, they telegraph her emotions in a way that matters more to me than the technical aspects of the craft. I like the way she weaves the current story into her dad's backstory, and the way she is able to make the exigencies of life both universal and personal. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

I remember not being overly impressed with the first book in Tyler's You'll Never Know series, but I obviously need to reread it because book two is fantastic. I can't wait to see what Tyler does next. I think there will be one more book in the series and it looks like the final product it will be pretty amazing. Tyler is setting a new standard for memoir comics.
