Where did you find a reprint of this? If I were Marty McFly I would go back in time and buy all the over-sized comics!
I have an original, but you can get the reprint here : http://www.amazon.com/Superman-vs-Muhammad-Ali-Deluxe/dp/1401228410/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1447936780&sr=8-1&keywords=superman+vs.+muhammad+ali
Looks good.
So, why IS Deadman interfering in Batman's training?
(And now, how about a match between Ali and Ted Grant? I seem to recall that a fight against 'Clay', presumably meaning Ali before his re-name, was once mentioned as part of Wildcat's backstory... Maybe that story and today's one might be connected?)
IIRC, in the modern version of the DCU, Grant was one of the fighters from whom Batman learned his mastery of fighting.
I like your idea that Ali was another one. ^_^
I remember reading that DC Treasury Edition! And, you're right. It was a delightfully "Bodacious" story. ;-)
Simreeve, Actually I started this cover intending to use Wildcat, but no Images seemed to work to my satisfaction. Maybe one day, but it's tough to find usable Ali images as well.
I had an original off the stands, I agree the story was strange but not so bad, and Adams art in the tabeloid size was amazing! I think the Batman came from one of the Ra's Al Ghul stories. I think this was the only comics appearance of Ali, but hope you can find more images to use!
And like usual this is a story I would want to read!
P.S. I sold the original to pay for something less important, college!

Before 'Flashpoint', yes, he was... but did the post-Flashpoint 'Prime Earth' universe even HAVE a version of Ted Grant/Wildcat?
I suspect that if any version of him was still considered to exist after that event then, at least until 'Convergence' loosened things up a bit again, he would only have been on the new version of Earth-2 and probably a relatively young person...
