Limited to a total number of only 4,000 copies, this Limited Advance Edition has been released by publisher Mohawk Media to celebrate the major worldwide launch of the Mr. T graphic novel in Spring 2008. In this book, his first foray into the world of mainstream literature, Mr. T takes on the role of bodyguard. Armed only with his fists, acumen, and a business card that reads, “Next to God there is no better protector than I”, Mr. T becomes as renowned as many of his clients. But will even the moniker of “The Greatest Bodyguard in the World!” make any difference when old enemies return and new foes and unseen faces conspire against him? The graphic novel uses its real-life star as a platform to address controversial “hot potato” real-life issues, such as kidnap, gun crime and sex offenders. The story also mixes in all the adrenaline-fuelled action normally associated with the television tough guy, including a dejected armor-clad maniac, an unstoppable lumberjack, mysterious costumed adversaries, and someone who appears far too familiar for comfort. With his assignments taking him around the world, including the USA and England, Mr. T soon becomes embroiled in the center of a complex web of events. This leads to a shocking conclusion, as Mr. T begins to realise that perhaps the true target isn’t his clients, but himself! By author Christopher Bunting and illustrator JL Czerniawski. Executive Editor Mr. T also contributes world-exclusive interviews. What the experts are saying about the Mr. T graphic novel: | ‘Don't just buy this book! Don't just read this book! Don't just treasure this book! Take it wherever you go and keep it close to your heart. This graphic novel would take a bullet for you, if it could!’ - JOHN LAYMAN,
Mr. T “Fan-For-Life”, and writer of comic books
“Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness”; “Xena: Warrior Princess”; and “Thundercats” | ‘T is back, and he's tougher than ever. Mr. T is a favorite celebrity of mine since I was a kid, starring in movies and TV shows, even in Saturday morning cartoons and on cereal boxes. He's a pop culture icon, who has always strived to have a positive effect on people young and old, something you see coming through in this story.
It's big, bright, colorful, with a good message and a lot of fun, just like Mr. T himself.’ - BRANDON PETERSON,
artist of “Incredible Hulk”; “Ultimate X-Men”;
and J. Michael Straczynski’s “Strange” |
