Brilliant children's book - Darth Vader and Son

If you have ever wondered what Luke Skywalker's childhood would have been like if Darth Vader had been a part of it as an active father, then the perfect book has just been published for you!  In this Star Wars children's book by Jeffrey Brown titled Darth Vader and Son you get a hilarious peek at what could have been.

"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 artist Jeffrey Brown’s delightful illustrations give classic Star Wars® moments a fresh 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."

This sounds absolutely great and I can only hope that there is a follow up book titled "Darth Vader and Daughter". Darth Vader and Son is 64 pages and will cost $15. It will hit bookshelves on May 4, 2012.
