Born and raised in [[Chicago, Illinois]], Tyler became interested in the [[underground comics]] movement while studying art at [[Syracuse University]] in the 1970s. This interest brought her to [[San Francisco]], where she met and married the cartoonist [[Justin Green]].
Her first comics publication was the 1987 story "Uncovered Property", in ''[[Weirdo]]''. Tyler's short slice-of-life stories and her distinctive artwork brought her critical attention as one of a growing number of female artists shaping the direction of underground/alternative comics in North America in the 1980s; she appeared in the influential feminist anthologies ''[[Wimmen's Comix]]'' and ''[[Twisted Sisters]]''. Her first solo book, ''The Job Thing'', was published in 1993. Her work became more sporadic in the 1990s, with several short stories appearing in ''[[Zero Zero (magazine)|Zero Zero]]'' and ''[[Drawn & Quarterly]]''. A new collection, ''Late Bloomer'', includes a lot of new material and is to be released in 2005.
