World's Finest Comics #200

World's Finest Comics #200 (On Sale: December 10, 1970), has a nice Superman/Robin cover by Neal Adams

For the first time Superman and Robin team up in "Prisoners of the Immortal World" by Mike Friedrich, Dick Dillin, and Joe Giella. Clark Kent reports from the campus of Hudson University where Robin is a student. During his broadcast, the ROTC building is bombed. Superman and Robin help to keep the peace, but two brothers begin a volatile argument. When the heroes try to break them up, all four are transported to an alien world.

The aliens have kidnapped Superman in order to use him as a human battery for a machine designed to make the aliens immortal. Robin and the brothers are discarded in the alien jungle. Robin and the boys work together to escape from a group of hunters. They then rescue Superman who helps them all get back to Earth. Reprinted in Showcase Presents: Robin the Boy Wonder Vol. 1 TPB (2008) and Showcase Presents: World's Finest Vol. 4 TPB (2013).
