Darth Vader and Son

The Star Wars comedy gem that launched the bestselling series! In this comic reimagining, the Dark Lord of the Sith is just like any other dad.

From Jeffrey Brown, New York Times bestselling author of the beloved Darth Vader and Family books, including Goodnight Darth Vader, Vader's Little Princess, Darth Vader and Friends, and A Vader Family Sithmas, this must-have for Star Wars fans considers 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 Star Wars reimagining, Darth Vader is a dad like any other--except with all the baggage of being the Dark Lord of the Sith. Brown's delightful illustrations give classic Star Wars moments a fresh parenting books twist, presenting the trials and joys of parenting through the lens of a galaxy far, far away.

Life lessons include lightsaber batting practice, using the Force to raid the cookie jar, 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. A great gift book or self-purchase, especially for the expectant father.

DARTH VADER COMICS: Bringing out the lighter side of the Dark Lord's personality, the Vader and Family books have charmed millions of readers who can't get enough of the Star Wars universe. Celebrated artist Jeffrey Brown has created a series that appeals to fans of all ages.

STAR WARS DAD GIFTS: An out-of-this-universe gift for any dad, for Father's Day, birthday, baby shower, or just because.

FAN FAVORITE: As noted by Gizmodo, "[I]f you're one of those sad, empty few who haven't picked up Vader and Son, for yourself, a child, a Star Wars fan, a carbon-based lifeform, or anyone who likes things that are Good - do yourself a favor and pick it up, because not only it is adorable and funny, but it's also one of the best Star Wars books ever."

Perfect for:
