October 28, 2009: "Superman vs. Muhammad Ali" To Get Reprint?
Comic book legend Neal Adams answered fan questions at the recent Big Apple Comic Con and indicated a possible reprint edition of the 1978 never-reprinted "Superman vs. Muhammad Ali Special Edition".
- After a fan asked him whether any of his older work would be turned into motion comics, he said that he's made a proposal to DC to release a collection of his Batman work, which could then make for a good motion comic series if modernized. Adam also said his daughter Kris is lobbying DC to turn the infamous 1978 Superman vs. Muhammad Ali book that he did into a motion comic.
"DC is going to reprint everything I've ever done in new formats, like the Superman vs. Muhammad Ali book in a deluxe edition with new coloring, and/or the Green Lantern/Green Arrow series in Absolute edition. It seems this motion-comic thing has gotten DC very jazzed to reprint everything I've ever done and make a lot of money," claimed Adams.
[editor's note: DC declined to comment on whether they have plans to reprint either of these two titles in new editions.]
