CGC and Twin Cities Comics Announce Private Signing with Mr. T!

CGC and Twin Cities Comics are the A-Team bringing you a chance to have your comics signed by a superstar from the ’80s ... Mr. T! Mr. T may be best known for his roles in Rocky III, The A-Team and WWE, but he has also voiced both himself and other characters in a number of projects, such as Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Johnny Bravo, Sabrina: The Animated Series and more.

If you’d like to get something other than a comic, card or magazine signed, Twin Cities Comics is also accepting posters, photos and props such as belts, trunks, gloves and other items. They will also have photos to choose from if you just want a picture of him from your favorite role of his. For more information about submitting memorabilia at the event, contact Twin Cities Comics at sales@twincitiescomics.com or 763-482-5201.

There are plenty of options available to make your collectible unique, whether you’re looking for a signature or personalized message. You can also add a quote for that extra touch of personality. Plus, if you're into signed and graded cards, there's an option for that, too!

As Mr. T would say: "I pity the fool" who misses out on this once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a comic signed by everyone's favorite chain-wearing celebrity!
