About the Author

Dennis O'Neil began his career as a comic book writer in 1965 at Charlton, where then-editor Dick Giordano assigned him to several features. When Giordano moved to DC, O'Neil soon followed. At DC, O'Neil scripted several series for Giordano and Julius Schwartz, quickly becoming one of the most respected writers in comics. O'Neil earned a reputation for being able to "revamp" such characters as Superman, Green Lantern, Captain Marvel, and Batman, whom O'Neil brought back to his roots as a dark, mysterious, gothic avenger. Besides being the most important Batman writer of the 1970s, O'Neil served as an editor at both Marvel and DC. After a long tenure as Group Editor of the Batman line of titles, he retired to write full-time.

Neal Adams was born June 6, 1941 in New York City. He attended Manhattan's High School of Industrial Art and, while still a student, found work ghosting the Bat Masterson syndicated newspaper strip and drawing gag cartoons for Archie Comics. Neal received his own comic strip based on the popular TV series Ben Casey in 1962. The strip ran until 1965 at which time Neal made the move to comics for Warren Publishing and DC Comics. Neal's realistic style on Deadman and Green Lantern/Green Arrow, at odds with the more cartoony comics of the day, made him an immediate star. He became DC's premier cover artist, contributing radical and dynamic illustrations to virtually the company's entire line. Neal's work has also appeared in Marvel's X-Men, The Avengers, and Thor, on paperback book covers, and on stage, as the art director for the Broadway science fiction play, Warp. In the 1970s, Neal and partner (and frequent inker) Dick Giordano started the art agency Continuity Associates out of which came, in the 1980s, Continuity Comics. Neal is the winner of several Alley, Shazam, and Inkpot Awards, and was inducted into the Harvey Awards' Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1999.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Timeless Story of Human Endurance
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2010
Verified Purchase
This is a reprint of the DC tabloid sized comic featuring Superman vs Muhammad Ali. The same team that brought you all those great Batman stories (Neal Adams and Dennis O'Neil) whet your appetite for what they could have done had they taken over the man-of steel (that is not to say that the team of O'Neil, Anderson, and Swan were pikers).

You sometimes forget what an icon Muhammad Ali was to our culture; he like Superman looked for truth, justice, and the American Dream. The story itself is timeless, it could have taken place today. Superman and Ali must fight each other to save the earth. The writer deftly handles the plot convention of making sure each man is seen as heroic. There is a nice little twist at the ending where Ali shows he is not just about fighting but has brains to match. the team-up itself feels natural and not forced.

The key to the cover that is laced with celebrities in attendance from the late 1970's is really cool to go through (I did not know Rac Shade and the Challengers of the Unknown were at ringside.

One note; if you want something closer to the size of the original edition by the facsimile edition from Amazon which is of bigger dimensions.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Story, art, coloring. I miss this comic when I was a kid and been wanting to read it since. I don't care that it didn't have a wrap around cover. That's a nice novelty, but the story is worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than the original
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016

Beautiful book. Things I like are the hardback covers, incredible coloring, and the large size of the pages that make the art pop.

I have the original graphic novel, and I appreciate that DC recolored the artwork and printed it on quality white paper. Some people object to the recoloring. Not me.

The thing I would change would be to have slightly thicker paper. If the pages were just a little beefier I would have given the book five stars.

I'm 46 years old and I was a teenager when I bought this comic book, originally. I have to say that this is a much better edition for the quality of the printing and the CG coloring. The story is ok, but the art is beautiful. I have always loved Neal Adams, especially for Batman, but here, he is shining, as well.
If you like the man of steel and the art of Adams, don't miss it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Supes & Ali - Welcome Back!
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2010

Thanks to DC Comics for making this available again! I once owned the original "All-New Collectors Edition C-56" when this was first released; it's nice to now purchase a more durable, recolored copy of this classic confrontation. I remember when some of the "Famous First Editions" were also issued in hardcover, so this takes me back to those days. O'Neil, Adams, Giordano and Austin produced a tale that works best in tabloid size, so I opted to spend the extra money, rather than buy the Deluxe reissue. Hope DC does this again soon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein Klassiker!
Reviewed in Germany on August 4, 2020

Machen wir es kurz: SUPERMAN VS. MUHAMMAD ALI gehört, zusammen mit beispielsweise "Watchmen' oder "The Dark Knight's Return", zu den singulären Werken, die man als Fan dieser Kunstform ganz einfach kennen muss.

Der hier vorliegende Comic ist schlichtweg seit mehr als vier Jahrzehnten ein Stück Popkultur... und bei all dem ist er auch noch wirklich sehr unterhaltsam, lustig und fröhlich überdreht in Szene gesetzt.

Dass die gesamte Ausgangsidee, den Men Of Steel gegen den unsterblichen Muhammad Ali antreten zu lassen, schon purer Irrsinn ist dürfte klar sein – aber es ist erstaunlich, dass die Macher es geschafft haben, aus dieser durchgeknallten Grundidee eine durchaus funktionierende Geschichte zu machen, welche Inhalt der Vorgaben des DC Universums definitiv funktioniert. SUPERMAN VS. MUHAMMAD ALI lebt also nicht nur von der einmaligen und kultigen Grundidee, sondern auch von der sehr gelungenen Umsetzung!

Die Präsentation der hier vorliegenden Ausgabe ist sehr gelungen, die Farben sind kräftig die Bilder sind klar und der Hardcover Einband kann sich auch sehr gut sehen lassen.

Insofern: ein Comic, den man einfach als Fan kennen muss und der in jede entsprechend ausgerichtete Sammlung gehört.

Von mir gibt es ganz eindeutig fünf Sterne.
