Superman is in despair in this cover published in the twilight of the Silver Age. What a "vintage" comic book vibe with the defunct robots in the closet and the futuristic cityscape on the left. Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson are great together, and having the Twin Cites copy of this issue is a plus. Speaking of the Twin Cities collection, this piece does not have the distracting distributor markings bleeding through the top or back cover (still visible on the top page edges) like so many other examples from the collection.
