The biggest, richest and most delightful collection of Tyler's work to date. In "Migrant Mother," Tyler tells the grueling story of a cross-country trip with the flu and her terrible-twos toddler using her trademark combination of rueful humor and empathy. The full-color "Just A Bad Seed" is a meditation on a problem child who might not be such a problem after all, while "The Return of Mrs. Kite" chronicles a family crisis - how her widowed grandmother fell in with a beau of questionable character. "Gone" (also in full color) is a stirring meditation on all kinds of loss, and "Why I'm A-gin' Southern Men" is a classic rant that dissects that particular breed of male - or at least a certain subspecies of "ex"es - with pitiless wit. Other stories include "Sweet Miss Lee" (a reminiscence of an immigrant roommate and her fate), "There's Something Wrong with a Perfect Lawn" (a tale of suburban obsessiveness), "Little Crosshatch Mind" (where artistic impulses come from), and "Uncovered Property" (discovering the power of sexuality at an early age). Tyler works equally well in delicately crisp black-and-white penstrokes and lushly watercolored paintings (this book features over 30 pages of her stunning full-color work). All told, the three-dozen stories here cement Tyler's reputation as a cartoonist to be reckoned with.

A graphic memoir of the author’s relationship with her World War II veteran father, and how his war experience shaped her childhood and affected her relationships in adulthood, stunningly rendered in detailed inks and subtle watercolors. You’ll Never Know is the first graphic novel from C. Tyler (Late Bloomer) and sure to be one of the most acclaimed books of the year. It tells the story of the 50-something author’s relationship with her World War II veteran father, and how his war experience shaped her childhood and affected her relationships in adulthood. “You’ll Never Know” refers not only to the title of her parents’ courtship song from that era, but also to the many challenges the author encountered in uncovering the difficult and painful truths about her Dad’s service—challenges exacerbated by her own tumultuous family life. You’ll Never Know is Tyler’s first first full-fledged graphic novel (after two volumes of short stories). Unlike many other graphic memoirs which have opted for simple, stylized drawings and limited color or black and white, You’ll Never Know makes full use of Tyler’s virtuosity as a cartoonist: stunningly rendered in detailed inks and subtle watercolors, it plunges the reader headlong into the diverse locales: her father’s wartime experiences and courtship, her own childhood and adolescence, and contemporary life. The unique landscape format, and the lush variety of design choices and rendering techniques, make perusing You’ll Never Know like reading a family album—but one with a strong, compelling, sharply told story. You’ll Never Know’s release schedule and format emulate those of Chris Ware’s ACME Novelty Library: three beautifully designed, large-format hardcover volumes released annually to complete a trilogy of astonishing breadth, depth, and sensitivity. 104 color illustrations.

You'll Never Know Book One " A Good and Decent Man" (YOULL NEVER KNOW HC)

The first volume of You’ll Never Know showed Carol’s initial, sometimes difficult, attempts at grappling with her father Chuck’s traumatic World War II experiences by bringing them to light. As Book 2 begins, she is startled to discover that Chuck’s decision to suddenly, after 60 years, open up to her on the subject has motivations that go far beyond his desire to reveal his past ― putting even more pressure on an already explosive relationship. In any event, Carol finally begins to delve into, and re-tell, Chuck’s horrific wartime experiences in Italy (which are worse than even she had imagined). But back in the present, the cycle of family dysfunction continues as Carol’s own daughter runs into her own trouble, leading Carol into further exploration of her family’s buried traumas and sorrows ― with an expanded reprinting of the out-of-print “The Hannah Story,” Tyler’s superb chronicle of the short life and accidental death of her older sister, a heart-rending story (named one of the “100 Best Comics of the 20th Century” in a Comics Journal survey) that in turn sheds light on her parents’ subsequent lives and patterns of behavior. Everything is connected, and the past is never just the past...

You'll Never Know Book 2: Collateral Damage (YOULL NEVER KNOW HC)

La Iglesia Cristiana, aún en medio de las vicisitudes de su vida externa, de sus avances y persecuciones, aciertos y apostasías, victorias y derrotas, siempre ha tenido en su seno testigos de Cristo marcados con el sello del Espíritu Santo. La influencia de los Ireneos, de los Tertulianos, de los Ciprianos, de los Clementes y de los Orígenes, se ha hecho patente en todo momento y ha sido crucial para solidificar los fundamentos de la fe. Por ello, estudiar y conocer bien su historia es esencial. Ahondar en los comienzos y saber exactamente de donde venimos, no es una opción, es una necesidad. Y no sólo para pastores y líderes, sino para todos los creyentes. La Historia de la Iglesia primitiva de Backhouse &amp; Taylor, tiene el mérito de descansar enteramente en lo mejor de las fuentes originales y lo más destacado de la erudición. Aplica al estudio de los primeros tiempos cristianos el método intuitivo, cotejando el relato histórico con los textos de los grandes escritores de la época, conocidos como Padres de la Iglesia. Recoge los secretos de las catacumbas donde los primeros creyentes esculpían la huella indeleble de su fe, transcribe valiosos documentos y muestra la vida cotidiana de las primeras comunidades cristianas, en toda su sencillez, desde la Era apostólica hasta su fusión con el Estado en tiempos de Constantino. Ampliada y puesta al día por Alfonso Ropero, actualizada con los más recientes hallazgos arqueológicos, mejorada en su base jurídica de las persecuciones, enriquecida con una amplia bibliografía y publicada completa en un solo volumen, la Historia de la Iglesia Primitiva constituye, en estos momentos, el mejor texto de estudio disponible para todo aquel interesado en conocer y analizar el devenir de la Iglesia en sus comienzos.
