Mr. T. Limited Advance Graphic Novel Announced

First name, 'Mister'... last name, 'T'

As if things in the world of comics weren't already interesting enough, word now comes, in the form of an official press release from publisher Mohawk Media, that the upcoming Mr. T graphic novel, set to release later this summer, will also have a "Limited Advance Edition" available right now for eager fans.

The Limited Advance Edition of the graphic novel will only have 4000 copies available and, as the press release states:

It marks the return to prominence of Mr. T, the Mohawk muscleman who was voted the fourth “Greatest American” in a recent global BBC poll, muscling in front of the likes of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Franklin D. Roosevelt. 

‘It’s great to be the star of a graphic novel’, says Mr. T. ‘And great entertainment is always driven by great writing!’ Mr. T, who contributes world-exclusive interviews to the graphic novel and acts as its Executive Editor, adds: ‘I’ve always strived to be a good role model to children and adults alike. I can’t think of a better way to do that than by encouraging people to read! What would I say to anyone who doesn’t read my graphic novel? “I pity the fool!” ’

Well said, Mr. T. Well said, indeed.
