I'M BAAAAAAAAAAACK!

Arguably the most famous treasury comic ever published, this book has developed a cult following, well beyond any other comic of its type. Story and art by the classic comic book team of Denny O'Neil, Neal Adams, and Dick Giordano. "Superman vs. Muhammad Ali" was part of DC's oversized series "All-New Collectors' Edition", officially numbered #C-56. It measures at 10 X 13, and the reprinted, 76 pages, "Whitman Publishing Edition" is the rarest of the editions.

By the late 1970s, Superman had already been paired in the comics pages with real-life American icons like John F. Kennedy, Steve Allen, Bob Hope, Jerry Lewis, Allen Funt, Don Rickles, and Pat Boone. He had even previously gone up against a real-life athlete, the professional wrestler Antonino Rocca. So it was a no brainer to pair the Man of Steel with the then World Heavyweight Champion, but the book suffered numerous delays, going from an original publication date of fall 1977 to spring 1978. By the time the book was published, Ali was no longer World Heavyweight Champion, having been dethroned by Leon Spinks in February 1978, even though Ali won back the title later that year in September.

An alien race called the Scrubb demands that Earth's greatest champion battle their world's own greatest fighter. Both Superman and Muhammad Ali step forward — and to determine who is truly Earth's greatest fighter, Superman temporarily loses his powers and faces Ali in the ring. Ultimately, the duo must work together to defeat the Scrubb, with Ali taking on their champion while Superman battles their space-armada.
