"Award-winning writer JD Morvan and renowned photographer Abbas' stunning graphic novel masterpiece which uses iconic photos to uniquely illustrate the historical 'Rumble in the Jungle' boxing match between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman. On the 30 th October 1974, the most famous boxing match of the 20th Century took place. Nicknamed the "Rumble in the Jungle", it pitted Muhammad Ali, desperate to win back his world champion belt, and George Foreman, the current holder, against each other. Foreman had just KO'd the only two boxers to have ever beaten Ali. By his own admission, Ali was terrified of facing him in the ring ... Now, the photojournalist Abbas immortalises this legendary meeting, having kept his photos in his personal archives for 36 years before unveiling them to the world. In a cross between a documentary, photo report and graphic novel, this book reveals the context of the most powerful photographs taken by one of the greatest photographers of the Magnum Photos agency. Enriched by the testimony of Abbas himself, Jean-David Morvan's script is rigorously brought to life by artist Rafael Ortiz."--Publisher's website.… (altro)

Passionné de photographie et de bande-dessinées, Jean David Morvan contacte avec succès l’agence Magnum pour une série autour des photographes phares de l’agence. Ici, Abbas, le photographe d’un des combats du siècle passé : Ali – Foreman.

Alternant habilement les photos et le dessin, cet album retrace plus la destinée de Mohamed Ali (et George Foreman) que la vie du photographe. Les clichés du monstre photogénique Ali valent absolument le détour.

Pourtant je suis resté un peu moins fan du dessin et du traitement des mouvements des boxeurs.

The Rumble in the Jungle is narrated (in a secondhand manner) from the perspective of the official ringside photographer, the Iranian born Abbas. His photographs are sprinkled throughout as occasional panels in the story and their own glorious two-page spreads. They meld well with the art of Rafael Ortiz, whose work reminds me fondly of Neal Adams' classic Superman vs. Muhammad Ali comic book.

There is a lot of end matter discussing the genesis of the book and the larger project of which it is part. It includes Abbas' justifiable complaint that he wasn't center in the story and how the author placated him with a promise to include a crass anecdote about a one-night ménage à trois that acts as the story's ending. There are also twenty nearly-finished pages produced by an artist who withdrew from the project, and it is interesting to compare how Ortiz's work differs from that original vision.

The story itself is a fine hagiography of the very deserving Ali that gives a quick overview of his career and dwells lovingly on one of his most famous bouts. But the real stars here are the photographs and the art. ( )
