Mr. T (comics)

American actor Mr. T has headlined in a number of comic books both under his own stage name and in conjunction with his role on the TV series The A-Team.

The series lasted 10 consecutive issues, not including a 1994 annual and various editions of #1, before closing when NOW Comics went out of business.
