As much as I can post of the 76-page Neal Adams masterpiece, just about the definition of a "fun comic," and remain inside the 1/3 rule.
This is rare and unreprinted, so enjoy this sampling.

Aw, you skipped the best part. It's during the boxing match when Superman's body absolutely refuses to fall down, propping himself up
through sheer will.

Well, I could only post so much...I tried to strike the best balance I could between "Sweet Adams Art" and "Coherent Overview of
Story."

This comic was freaking amazing, but I will hear nothing bad about CBvG.

This is the only comic book one of my cousins saved from when he was a kid. It really is a fun read and the art is just amazingly good.

A comic with such a stupid premise should not be this good. It's like a violation of the laws of nature or something. That moment when Ali
knocks the alien boxer out of the ring...hands-down, the greatest "FUCK YEAH!" moment in comics history.

I am not at all a sports fan, and for boxing that goes double. But I have to say, when I read that page with Ali explaining the thinking
behind his punches, I suddenly GOT it and never did before. Like Supes, I never thought of it as strategic. Or maybe that was just Ali,
but still, very interesting.

Yes in 1976 I spent what amounted to 5 weeks allowance on this comic. And it was worth every penny.

It was Ali, and he was God in the 70s. Loved on a level few celebs are anymore. And his scandals? Like refusing to go to 'Nam? They
only made him COOLER. (Compare to now when we follow celebs to watch them fail and suffer and fuck up)
They really don't make media personality-cult figures like they used to.

Man, this so pretty. Neal Adams, I want to eat your brains and get your drawing abilities.

I had this back in the days of old... wonder what ever happened to my copy? Anyway, thanks for posting it. IIRC, this was from just
before Neal Adams tried to organize comics artists into a union, and dropped out of comics for a while after it failed to take off.

Man, you would expect a comic with such a premise to be absolutely awful, and instead... just wow.

THANK YOU! I had a discussion with one of the guys who runs the LCS and owned this issue; he said he'd lend it to me one day, but
never did the big fat liar. This was far better than I ever could dream it would be. OMG Fantastic Stuff!

Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams will never stop being my favorite team. Neal Adams's pencils are really spectacular here. I had trouble reading this because
I couldn't stop looking at the pictures to concentrate on the dialogue.
You can totally tell who Dick is without looking at the guide. You know he's cheering Clark on non-stop.

I'm another of those people who went basically "This should be the most incredibly stupid idea in the history of ever and yet... and yet,
it's kind of awesome". Huh. Ridiculously contrived premise, sure, but somehow it's not bad.
Doesn't hurt that the art is so epic.

Well, imagine if this had been drawn by Curt Swan inked by Frank Chiramonte.
Sorry, I'll bet that hurt.

Muhammad Ali, sir, I know you're too cool for Trekkies, but please don't make fun of them when making a guest appearance in a comic
book. KNOW your audience.

Am I wrong in thinking that, in the last panel of page 24(the "you in trouble" panel), Superman could not look more like Bruce Campbell,
including expression? That look that says, "oh, GREAT."
