Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
After Darth Vader`s narrow escape from the destruction of the Death Star, the Dark Lord is consumed with a desire to find the Force-strong young pilot who fired the fatal shot. For Luke Skywalker represents the heart and soul of the Alliance, and perhaps, for Vader, he represents much, much more. The book`s very first printing features a foil-stamped logo and special bonus fold-out poster by Gibbons and Angus McKie.

I read this comic shortly after I saw A New Hope on DVD with my Dad and my brother. So after dinner, I read this one and discovered how Darth Vader found out that Luke Skywalker was his son. In one of the good fanfics I have read, Darth Vader actually orders one of his men ( an imperial officer ) to find out more about the boy who fired the shot and destroyed the Death Star. And this officer is to report back to Darth Vader with some information without letting Emperor know anything about this search for Luke.
Until my friend told me about this comic, I have always thought the fanfic mentioned above could PROBABLY be canon, real and official.
But this comic was ... IS terrific ! The drawings do look like those real characters on screen ! Luke you see in this comic does look like young Mr Mark Hamill. My very favourite scene is where Darth Vader encounters Luke ( He is blindfolded so he cannot see. ) I would highly recommend this comic to anyone who is interested in this Vader/Luke relationship :D

Any of the guys that said that this comic was "great" or that "it gives you a glimpse of vader and luke's very first encounter" is just wrong. Anyone with at least basic star wars knowledge knows that their very first encounter was on "Star Wars Splinter of the Mind's Eye", which was the very first Star Wars story ever written by someone other than George Lucas, even before George Lucas even thought of starting to write "The Empire Strikes Back", and from which Lucas himself later acknowledged he gathered some of his inspiration for the rest of the trilogy. I recommend reading that book instead of this comic book...

'Vader's Quest,' fills an intersting story niche for the die-hard Star Wars fan. The story is set in-between Episdoes IV and V and chronicles Vader as he goes about hunting down the gunman responsible for the destruction of the Death Star - Luke Skywalker. There is very little in the way of new character revelation or backstory to draw much interest but the plot itself manages to be serviceable just enough to keep readers chugging through all 80 pages or so.

This TPB is one you will love or hate. The pencil work at times is chillingly awesome. At other times it will make your face crunch up in a grimace!. The tipoff is the truly odd drawing of Luke on the cover. The inking, binding and other production features are excellent. I have seen Dark horse try this cartoon quality art style and I don�t care for it. Some of the middle pages had washed out colors. Bottom line is that I enjoyed the story and some of the art work enough that it overcomes the bizarre pages so I give this 2 stars.

The title says it all... if you ever wondered how did the dark Lord of the Sith ever find out about Luke being his son, this is the book you've got to read...
