Description
What if Darth Vader took an active role in raising his son? What if Luke, I am your father was just a stern admonishment from an annoyed dad? In this hilarious and sweet comic reimagining, Darth Vader is a dad like any other—except with all the baggage of being the Dark Lord of the Sith.
Celebrated comic artist Jeffrey Brown's delightful comics give a fresh twist to classic Star Wars™ moments, presenting the trials and joys of parenting through the lens of a galaxy far, far away. This includes lightsaber baseball practice, using the Force to raid the cookie jar, and Take Your Child to Work Day on the Death Star (Er, he looks just like you, Lord Vader!), and the special bond shared between any father and son.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
