Mr. T Pities the April Fools, and Dracula Too
I hate April Fool’s Day, mainly because I’m kind of stupid and almost always fall for one of the fake news stories that appear. But a press release touting a British comic featuring Mr. T fighting Dracula is not one of them (awesome though it might be). You can read an elaborate interview with the author Bunting here, and see covers 2 and 3 of the Mr. T Versus line, which include Wolverine and Dr. Who (admittedly, see Mr. T stepping out of the Tardis is also kind of awesome, although it’d be cooler if he were covered in blood).
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
