Description
I picked this up during the May the Fourth Be With You drop on CAL, along with some work by Harvey Tolibao (which I hope to post soon). I combined orders with Mikail's to save on the shipping to the US, and then waited to pick it up when I caught up with him at SDCC. Holy cow!

To be honest, my first viewing of a Manix piece on one of the Jiggy drops over at Next Comic Art didn't hook me. But then I started seeing more pieces, and caught an interview about his approach and background as a cartoonist, and slowly the snare was set. Now, I am enthralled!

I knew I must find the right piece to add to my collection. I was leaning toward a Spidey or a Hulk at first (no, really guys, I was). Then I heard some more Manix Star Wars would be coming. Kismet. Thus, it had to be the tarot inspired Darth Vader and it is glorious in all ways Manix! The paper, the highlight colors, the characterizations. Chef's kiss.

What's with these Stormies, dissing my world?
Why do they Battlefront?
What did Darth Vader chain to these guys
That made them so violent?

Woo-hoo
When you know it's yours
Woo-hoo
And I know tarot signs
Woo-hoo
(And Devil's dark side)

Ooh-wee-hoo, you just joined the Jiggy party
Oh-oh, and you're gonna want some more
Manix dares to go play the colors anyway
Vader's going on attack

Don't you ever fear, Jedis are near
I know that you need help
Anakin's twisted, his thighs are split
You need the Obi Wan

Woo-hoo
This Manix is yours
Woo-hoo
And you post online
Woo-hoo
(And that's for all time)

A hit to be followed by "The World Has Turned and Left Me Here (Alone, on Fire, Covered in Lava. I Hate You Obi-Wan)."

This is so good! I can definitely see why you would consider going with Hulk or Spidey when it comes to Manix. However, it's even sweeter that you ended up with a Star Wars piece, and an ominous one from the dark side at that. Congrats Jeff!

If Vader is The Devil what does that make Palpatine!!?? Haha. Awesome and Unique Vader piece. The Manix stuff hasn't really been my thing but I can see why others dig it so much. This one is particularly cool, congrats man!

I'm only starting to get familiar with Manix Abrera and everything I have seen has been stellar. I adore the tarot card visual of Vader. Thanks for sharing

I enjoyed having this around for a few weeks - it's very compelling and if you frame it I'm sure it will eventually capture more than a few souls.

Love the look of this. Great looking piece. So unique to see Manix style on Star Wars theme.

Holy shit! For a few moments I thought the Stormtroopers were helping Vader skip rope! 😀

Thanks for posting this Jeff! Love the Manix story you shared too! 

So I asked Manix what the Tarot Card means and this is what he sent me. 

===================

Darth Vader

The Devil

~Materialism, addiction, obsession (the Dark Side) :)

~For the Positive reading of the card: look deeper within ourselves because it reflects our own shadow issues that we need to face and fix. We have to deal with our own demons in order to release the great power hidden inside us. :)
