Title: Weird "Vs." Comics Post by: claws on September 10, 2011, 05:42:28 AM (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/aa/SupermanVsMuhammadAli.jpg)
Though my comic reading days are long gone and over, I recently came across this bizarre concoction: Superman Vs. Muhammad Ali :buggedout: Published in 1978 it tells the story of aliens trying to destroy earth unless they can find a person willing to fight one of their aliens in a boxing match. Ali volunteers, but so does Superman. In order to pick one challenger they must first fight each other on another planet. Superman is stripped of all his super-powers thanks to a red sun, and Ali teaches the man of steel the sweet science of boxing for their big event. Kind of corny and certainly a product of its time when Ali was a big deal. Still, I thought it was entertaining and gave me a nice flashback from when I was reading comics as a kid. Do you know of any other weird "Vs." comics? Title: Re: Weird "Vs." Comics Post by: Jim H on September 10, 2011, 01:50:02 PM I've read a few of these...
Lobo VS The Mask (http://www.lobobrasil.com.br/gibis/estadosunidos_lobo/lobomask_1.jpg) It was actually pretty entertaining, and makes some sense as they're both unkillable. I also read Mars Attacks the Image Universe - worth a read as well. Title: Re: Weird "Vs."

Never cared for this matchup at all. Title: Re: Weird "Vs." Comics Post by: RCMerchant on September 16, 2011, 05:32:11 AM Don Rickles vs. Goody Don Rickles.
Just the fact it's DON RICKLES is weird in itself. And all done by Jack Kirby! (http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l79/RCMerchant/613YOw-5NAL__SS500_.jpg) Title: Re: Weird "Vs." Comics Post by: FatFreddysCat on September 22, 2011, 02:57:52 PM Not exactly a "versus" comic, but this is certainly the oddest pairing I've seen in awhile... yes, this actually exists!! The first issue will be out in November!! :teddyr:
