Muhammad Ali: The King of the Ring: A Graphic Novel (Campfire Graphic Novels)
"The graphic format is an ideal way to present the life of a real life 'superhero' who went from being a diligent young boxer to achieve immortality through his undoubted sporting prowess and powers as a communicator who challenged the status quo following being stripped of his title for refusing to fight in the Vietnam War.  His life straddles a period of major social change in America which culminated only recently in the [election] of the first black president.  Campfire is an impressive imprint and watching boys in particular devour the[ir books] reminds me of my own childhood love of Classics Illustrated.  Intelligently written from the perspective of sports journalists , recounting  [Ali's] exploits inside and outside the ring with really dynamic illustrations, it shows that graphic novels are not just for reluctant readers although book averse boys in particular will find it hard not to pick this up."—School LibrarianMagazine"Campfire manages to capture children’s attention in stories that talk up, rather than down, to their readers." —John Hogan,Graphicnovelreporter.com"I highly recommend Campfire’s comics. They do what they are intended to do and do it in  a way that excites kids about classic literature."— Chris Wilson, The Graphic Classroom (a resource for teachers and librarians)
