[edit] Biography

Before this saw publication however, Bunting had a story printed in Shoujo #4 also by Antarctic Press.

Bunting then went on to spearhead the Mr. T comic series, which apparently was accepted by the first publisher he approached. He was instrumental in securing the license and wrote and edited all the issues. Only two issues were released before the publisher closed, resulting in Bunting and the comic transferring to another publisher, who printed the final issue in the comic series.

From 2005-2006, Bunting scripted the Action Man comic for Panini Comics UK / Marvel UK based on the iconic action figure (literally the British G.I. Joe). Along with the current cast of characters, Bunting also brought back long forgotten characters like villain Anti Freeze, and even showed Action Man’s base for the first time, complete with accessories and weapons and other long forgotten character, Raid.

Since then Bunting has also scripted many other comics, including a story that recently appeared in the small press section of Judge Dredd Megazine.

Bunting has also done regular feature writing for the likes of Toxic magazine and Comics International.

In February 2008, publisher Mohawk Media announced the all new Mr. T: Limited Advance Edition graphic novel, limited to 4,000 copies, and in advance of the worldwide launch of the Mr. T graphic novel in Summer 2008^[1]
