Superman vs Muhammad Ali

Just picked up a copy of this, a reprint of the 1978 original. Haven't even opened it yet, so can't tell you who wins!

Of course, Ali wins this hands down. Ali has Panama Lewis in his corner and kryptonite is inserted in Ali’s glove. Ali wins by KO in the first round.

I'm pretty sure Eddie Futch would be in Superman's corner, and right on cue he would throw in the towel just as Superman was about to KO Ali. No way Ali could win a legit fight without the "fix" being in.. And of course everyone on the east coast would be informed in advance.

I remember this showing up on the newstand a month or two after Ali lost to Leon Spinks. Curious timing.

Apparently it was delayed for a year because they had to get legal clearance for all the celebrities they'd drawn on the cover. Some refused, though heaven knows why, and had to be drawn over with approved celebs.
