With a total number of only 4,000 copies, Mr. T: Limited Advance Edition is now available. It marks the return to prominence of Mr. T, the Mohawk muscleman who was voted the fourth<!--more-->\u00a0\u201cGreatest American\u201d in a recent global BBC poll, muscling in front of the likes of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Franklin D. Roosevelt.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u2018It\u2019s great to be the star of a graphic novel\u2019, says Mr. T. \u2018And great entertainment is always driven by great writing!\u2019<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Mr. T continues: \u2018There\u2019s my long-time fans, but there\u2019s also a new generation because of \u201cA-Team\u201d reruns, my cartoon show reruns, and the renewed interest in \u201cRocky III\u201d following the recent sequel. That\u2019s humbling, and this graphic novel is my method of reaching them all. I\u2019m so proud of all my life\u2019s work, but to see myself in this book feels extra special.\u2019<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Author Christopher Bunting adds: \u2018We\u2019ve seen comebacks happen over and over again in the entertainment industry, whether it&rsquo;s John Travolta, the Spice Girls, or fictitious characters such as Indiana Jones or Rambo. Now it\u2019s Mr. T\u2019s time.\u2019<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Bunting continues: \u2018I\u2019m often drawn to writing \u201cmystery\u201d dramas, where threads weave a much larger tapestry, with the core being the human journey, in the vein of \u201cLost\u201d or \u201cHeroes\u201d. Therefore my attention had increasingly turned to novels and scriptwriting, and away from the shrinking comic industry. This graphic novel has been the perfect vehicle. I could approach it as a novel, yet also incorporate the finest elements from comics and television.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u2018And besides, when Mr. T calls you personally, wanting you to do it, you don\u2019t dare say no!\u2019<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Editor Stuart Buckley adds: \u2018This book\u2019s star is already a household name known and loved the world over, making this possibly the world\u2019s highest-profile graphic novel. It\u2019s a call for celebration, hence this Limited Advance Edition.\u2019<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Buckley continues: \u2018Most so-called \u201cgraphic novels\u201d are reprints of comics, the equivalent of cobbling together a bunch of episodes of a TV show and calling it a \u201cmovie\u201d; or works that, in their desire to be highbrow, determinedly distance themselves from their comic forefather.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u2018Neither makes full use of the inherent potential in graphic novel storytelling. This book \u2013 an all-original like Mr. T himself \u2013 does.\u2019<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Mr. T, who contributes world-exclusive interviews to the graphic novel and acts as its Executive Editor, adds: \u2018I\u2019ve always strived to be a good role model to children and adults alike. I can\u2019t think of a better way to do that than by encouraging people to read! What would I say to anyone who doesn\u2019t read my graphic novel? \u201cI pity the fool!\u201d \u2019<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Mr. T: Limited Advance Edition can be ordered direct from publisher Mohawk Media at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mohawkmedia.co.uk\/\">www.mohawkmedia.co.uk<\/a> for the exclusive price of \u00a315.99 \/ $39.00 including delivery. Alternatively, from April 2008, it will be available through bookstores worldwide, including online, by quoting its 13-digit ISBN:
