Tyler

Tyler made their entrance in the pages of Hate #18 in 1995, stepping into Peter Bagge's razor-sharp, slice-of-life world for Fantagraphics — one of the most celebrated alternative comics publishers of the era. Sharing the page with the likes of Buddy Bradley, Babs, Lisa Leavenworth, and the rest of Bagge's gloriously dysfunctional cast, Tyler inhabits that wonderfully chaotic, Gen-X-inflected universe that made Hate a touchstone of 1990s underground comics. With appearances spread across both Hate and the Hate Annual, this is a character woven into the fabric of one of alternative comics' most beloved and enduring series. For fans who treasure Bagge's singular voice and the raw, comedic humanity of that world, Tyler is exactly the kind of supporting player worth tracking down.
