-
- I haven't seen the $upes vs Ali cover and I think its a real
- stretch to call Ali a wrestler (though I do have the Ali-Monsoon
- shenanigans on a wrestling tape somewhere). Nope, that ain't it.

- You're on the right track, it is pre-1976, but it isn't golden age.
- Another clue -- it isn't from the 1950's.

-
- As I said in reply to the other poster, I agree that answering
- all three questions would be tough to do without the comic so
- I would settle for just the name of the wrestler.
-
- If anyone on the net has access to a color scanner I would be
- willing to send him/her a color photocopy of the cover so that
- a gif of it could be made and be posted here.
