Stålmannen mot Muhammad Ali

In 1978, Swedish publisher Semic released a unique, single-issue crossover that brought Superman face-to-face with Muhammad Ali, adapting the classic 1978 DC Comics special for a Scandinavian audience. Written by Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams, with Adams also handling the art, the story is a landmark of 1970s pop culture, pitting the Man of Steel against the world's greatest boxer in a battle that tests both strength and principle. This Swedish edition stands out for its local adaptation by translator Rolf Lindby, making a globally iconic superhero-meets-sports legend clash accessible to Nordic readers. Though it remains a one-shot, its cultural resonance endures as a playful, era-defining curiosity.
