World's Finest Comics #182 (On Sale: December 12, 1968) has a cover by Curt Swan and Neal Adams.We begin with Superman and Batman in "The Mad Manhunter" by Cary Bates, Ross Andru and Mike Esposito.
That is followed by The Silent Knight in "The Hooded Terror" a reprint from Brave and the Bold #6 by Robert Kanigher and Irv Novick. A knight calling himself the Hooded Terror issues a threat to Greystone Castle. The Silent Knight meets the challenge and enters Forest Perilous in search of the Hooded Terror. His foot is snared in a trap while crossing a bridge making him an easy target. The Hooded Terror appears along with another knight dressed in identical garb. The two Hooded Terrors then attack. The Silent Knight defeats them both and returns with them to the castle.
Sir Oswald then issues a challenge to the Silent Knight to participate in the Tournament of Roses. Failure to appear would cause him to perceived of as a coward, so the Silent Knight meets the challenge. Once entered in the tournament, he is able to unhorse his opponent and win the victory rose from Lady Celia.

I've noted that a number of covers recently are by "Swan and Adams." Intriguing mix--I think it would be interesting to find out how come of these collaborations came about, since each of these artists has a distinct style on his own ... ? I assume this was Swan: pencils and Adams: inks. Somehow, it always ends up looking like Adams to me even when he only inks.
Did this combo ever do any interiors? That would've been preferred over Andru/Esposito who I was never a big fan of.
