This is, unquestionably, the greatest moment I’ve ever read in any piece of Star Wars media. It shook me to the core going through this panel-by-panel on ComiXology. Holy. Shit. So. Good.

Darth Vader by Walter Simonson
I always thought it was too bad that David Prowse didn’t get to play Darth Vader unmasked. Don’t know the score about that really, but I decided to do a illustration of David, more or less as he is now, as the dying Vader at the end of third movie.
Drawn with a Pentel .9mm automatic pencil on 100 lb vellum surface paper.

You’re never tempted to pick up the phone and pretend to be Darth Vader?I did that once when I was traveling cross-country. I used Darth as my handle on the CB radio. The truck drivers would really freak out — for them, it was Darth Vader. I had to stop doing that.
Oh to have heard that!
