review 1: This was a nice blast to the past, to sink in a comic book world where the values are basically monochrome. All apple pie americana philosophy, only coming from Ali's boisterous mouth. An insane alien has challenged Ali and Superman to a match with their champion, but first the two have to fight to determine the best fighter. What ensues is an action of bravery, fraud, and finally, redemption. I loved the moments where Ali was shooting his mouth off. Intimidate the enemy away from the ring, and in the ring. This hardback also has a treat: a wraparound poster with faces of dozens of celebrated people of the time including Kurt Vonnegut, Howard Chaykin, Lex Luthor, and even Alred Neumann!
review 2: The title really says it all. Superman? Check. Muhammad Ali? Chec... morek. Awesomeness? CHECK!I've got both the title character's on my wall in poster form, so you know I had to buy the book.Not exactly the most plausible story, but hey, there's a flying guy from another planet in it, so that complaint is really moot.Just sit back and enjoy the old-school, campy, comic booky goodness. Also, check out the alien imperial commander's bell bottoms. Oh, such great escapism. less
