Father & Son Issues: Magic, Comics, & Other Things That Disappear

By David Rangel

A father teaches his son magic.

Then life starts teaching both of them.

In Father & Son Issues, David Rangel traces the unlikely path from comic books, card tricks, and Saturday-morning heroes to hospital rooms, wedding plans, aging parents, and the strange moment when you realize your children no longer need you in quite the same way they once did.

With humor, honesty, and an affection for life's beautiful absurdities, Rangel writes about growing up in South Texas, raising a son who would eventually become his stage partner, chasing a career in magic, surviving middle age, collecting Batman action figures, losing heroes, finding new ones, and discovering that the best stories rarely end where you expect them to.

Part memoir, part love letter, and part backstage pass to a life spent creating wonder, Father & Son Issues is about family, memory, and the things we spend our lives trying not to lose.

Even when they disappear.
