Mr. T graphic novel publisher Mohawk Media has recently run its first in-depth interview with me (on their site now). In it, I discuss editor-in-chiefing their upcoming projects, The A-Team movie, and of course, the Mr. T GN.

Copies of Mr. T signed by me are available through the site's store.

And, yes, as reported on Newsarama, Mohawk Media is accepting submissions from artists!

PRESS RELEASE

PUBLISHER PUTS OUT CALL TO COMIC ARTISTS

Mohawk Media launches talent search

Publisher Mohawk Media has today announced that it is in search of artists for upcoming comic book and graphic novel projects.

Having had success with its Mr. T graphic novels, the publisher is readying to get new projects underway in 2010. To help spearhead this search, Mr. T author, Christopher Bunting, has been appointed as Editor-In-Chief.

Bunting says: "As a freelance writer, one in the early stages of his career, I know just how tough it is to break into comic books."

"I’ve often heard aspiring artists say there are no openings. I’m therefore proud to be part of this Mohawk Media initiative to give artists the opportunity to become published, and be involved in some of the coolest titles of 2010!"

The publisher recommends the following:


· A brief email about yourself and any published experience, accompanied by a minimum of 5 sequential pages

· Story pages only (no pinups, paintings or portraits)

· Your strongest – and preferably, recent – work

· A variety of genres if possible

· Samples in jpeg or PDF format only. Links will not be opened

· All submissions to chris@mohawkmedia.co.uk


Bunting continues: "Remember, comics are a storytelling medium. Those are the skills that you need to demonstrate."

"We’re excited to see what comes in. Good luck!"



Notes:

· For further information: chris@mohawkmedia.co.uk

· The official Mr. T graphic novel is distributed to the comic book trade through Diamond Comics Distributors, and to the book trade by Bertrams. ISBN:9780956018908. It is also available signed by the author from the Mohawk Media store: http://www.mohawkmedia.co.uk/mr-t-store.htm

Scribing the indescribable!

Expect an announcement soon about Mohawk Media's next major project.

It's really going to be something! And while I would normally try to leave crafty little clues as to what, this one is pretty much indescribable!

And guess who'll be scribing it?

HMV takes on Mr. T

Yes, the news is true, Mohawk Media has secured a major groundbreaking deal that sees the Mr. T graphic novel in HMV stores throughout UK and Ireland.

I'm heavily quoted in the official press release, so don't feel I can add much more, but this is a great result and I can't tell you how pleased I am that this book is breaking into the mainstream.

It's a gorgeous looking graphic novel with a fantastic, all-original fun story ... and for only £8.00 in HMV you'd be a "crazy fool" not to grab a copy. Read the full press release here.

How To Break Into Comics

Due to popular demand, signed copies of my comic book, How To Break Into Comics, are now available through this site.

This is a fun comic book that I wrote, with Kit Wallis on art, and published by Antarctic Press, a leading US comic book manga publisher.

Uniquely presented as an actual narrative, it looks at writing, art, the submission process - all the aspects and attributes needed to become a successful comic creator.

Plus this story may even be Antarctic's first crossover of many of its popular series, as it stars characters from Ninja High School, Gold Digger, Warrior Nun Areala, The Courageous Princess, and Dragon Arms!

Still busy working on some exciting developments concerning the new Mr. T graphic novel - expect some major annoucements quite soon.

Mr. T himself, meanwhile, is over here in the UK. Many of you probably caught him on The One Show (BBC1) last night or BBC Radio 1 today.

Been a very interesting time on the Mr. T front recently.

Was interviewed by Irish radio station Newstalk yesterday, and also discussed my thoughts on the announcement of The A-Team movie, to be produced by Ridley Scott.

Meantime, the art is coming in for my next graphic novel, which is looking amazing. This project is a biggie!
