Who on earth has been alive
anytime in the last 50 odd years and hasn’t heard of the King of the Ring?
Muhammad Ali, the one true champion of the masses.
Campfire brings to us the
legend of Ali in the form of a captivating graphic novel written by Lewis Helfand
and beautifully illustrated by Lalit Kumar Sharma and it was launched in the
Comic Con Express along with Jungle Book.
Ali is considered to be a true
champion and one of the greatest sportsmen ever by many critics.
He was not only a Boxer but
also a philanthropist and a social activist. Ali, as most of us would know, was
born Cassius Clay, but converted to Islam after joining the Nation of Islam out
of protest against racial discrimination, which was predominant and popular in
the 60s in America, despite several laws and social protests against any form
of racial prejudice.
Ali has been a legend and an
inspiration to people of all ages and era, and not without reason.
Lewis Helfand has done a
fantastic job of compacting the immensely colorful like of Ali in a slightly
less than 100 page comic, which was then brought to life by none other than our
very own resident genius, Lalit Kumar Sharma.
