Mr. T

Mr. T — the real-life A-Team star and pop-culture icon — was adapted into comics form, starring in Mr. T and the T-Force while crossing over with Marvel figures like Spider-Man, the Thing, and Dr. Doom.

Debuting in 1993 courtesy of creator Maureen McTigue, Mr. T. is a Copper/Modern Age figure whose comics presence spans a surprisingly robust sixteen years and touches some genuinely iconic corners of the Marvel universe — sharing pages with the likes of Spider-Man, Thing, and the villainous Dr. Doom. Most at home in the pages of Mr. T and the T-Force, Toyfare: The Toy Magazine, and Comics Scene, this character exists at a wonderfully specific pop-culture crossroads where comics fandom and toy collecting collide under the Wizard Entertainment banner. Rare in the catalog with just six recorded appearances, Mr. T. is a cult curiosity that rewards the dedicated hunter — a snapshot of an era when the lines between merchandise, magazine, and mythology were gloriously blurred.
