Looks like a Neil Adams cover.
Yep. I actually recall buying this issue. Interiors were not by Neal.
Elizabeth Tulloch shared today a video of her getting tested for COVID-19 to start Superman and Lois.
The covers in those days were frequently by either Neal Adams or Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez - praise be his name, but the interiors were nearly always Curt SwanYep. I actually recall buying this issue. Interiors were not by Neal.

DC covers: doing clickbait long before the internet
Great post.
Swan was a solid artist. His work in the early 70's Superman titles with Murphy Anderson inking is great.The covers in those days were frequently by either Neal Adams or Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez - praise be his name, but the interiors were nearly always Curt Swan
Curt Swan is the Superman of my youth. I think our definitive versions of characters are most often those we are first introduced to. For me Adams Batman or Green Lantern, or Aparo's Batman, Grell's Legion, Romita's Spider-Man etc.
I'm sure he was a solid artist, I can't draw for toffee. I've personally never been into his style, irrespective of who inked him. The characters often came across to me as too stiff and pre-Crisis I always thought he drew Superman with a receding hairline. People like Neal Adams, JLGL and many of the post-Crisis artists did much better. I also liked Jack Burnley and (when he was mimicking Joe Schuster) Wayne Boring looked better to me.
For the most part this is true. For instance Aparo's Batman/Detective covers and his work in Brave and the Bold back in the 70s, thats Batman for me.
The one and only. Brilliant artist, which is why that cover (from June of 1968) was a letdown once a buyer set eyes on the interiors.

Garcia-Lopez was not working for DC in the era of the posted covers (late 1960s); his first DC work started in 1975.
Shots fired!
Oh, and The Flash being "the last good DC show" standing? Heh. It never held that distinction.
Both Supergirl and the Flash has very mediocre seasons last year. Legends I have not really liked since the third season but I watch for completion sake and do not post my ooinions in those threads. Black Lightning has had three consistently great seasons; I enjoy it a lot.
I thoroughly enjoyed Flash up to the end of the Thinker season. The following year was scattered for me, and I really thought that last year was a disaster--the saving grace being Candice Patton's acting toward the end of the season and the stuff with Ralph and Sue. Supergirl I liked up until this season which was a let down and to make it worse, they showed us how much fun the show used to be when Winn was there. I am hoping that the shows will get better this year.
This new Superman show--I am hoping for good things, but the more I read about it the more I am wondering if it will be any good at all.
Sorry, I was referring to when I was first getting comics back in the late 70s. As well as Garcia-Lopez' work on DC's promotional side of things with posters and lunch box covers.
A couple of years ago there was an entire wall calendar devoted to his Superman work.
