Star Wars #3

The French edition of Jeffrey Brown's charming Star Wars picture-book parody arrives here, and the cover sets the tone perfectly: a snoozing Darth Vader (complete with "ZZZZZ" bubble) slumped in a chair while two small children in white robes — one sporting twin buns — bounce gleefully on a nearby bed, with the Death Star looming outside the window. Brown's warm, sketch-style artwork turns the galaxy's most feared villain into an endearingly exhausted caretaker, and the title Au Lit Dark Vador promises bedtime chaos on a galactic scale. Published in 2015 by Huginn & Muninn, this is a delightful pick for Star Wars fans of any age who appreciate humor as much as hyperspace.
