Superman vs. Muhammad Ali is an oversize celebrity comic book published by DC Comics in 1978. The 72-page book features Superman teaming up with the heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali to defeat an alien invasion of Earth, a story in which they are required to compete in a boxing match (without Superman's superpowers). It was based on an original story by Dennis O'Neil which was adapted by Neal Adams, with pencils by Adams,[1] figure inks by Dick Giordano, and background inks by Terry Austin.
Writer/artist Neal Adams proclaimed that Superman vs. Muhammad Ali was 'the best comic book' he and co-writer Denny O'Neil had ever produced.
