Darth Vader and Son


Darth Vader and Son (2012)  by Jeffrey Brown

This is a book of one-page comics that show what life would be like for Darth Vader if he were spending time with a four-year old Luke Skywalker.  I don’t know Star Wars that well and had to have some of these cartoons explained to me further, but most of these stand on their own, even for those of us with limited Star Wars knowledge.  They will be especially funny to parents or to anyone who spends time with young children.

I happened to first read this book soon after giving birth to our second child, a time when my emotions were a big, dramatic jumble of very high highs and very low lows.  And so, as I read these over and over to our own four-year old, while nursing her brother, I laughed out loud uncontrollably… as in… I CouLD. NOT. stop. laughing.  I’m pretty sure this book is funny even to a person of average emotional range, but these comics hold a special place in my heart for all the joy they brought me in those early, raw days and weeks after giving birth.
