I agree about Starlin.

I'm no good at distinguishing artists, but I am a fan of tech, and I'm not sure Starlin would dray spaceships that look like that.
I don't know much about Rich Buckler, except for having bought his STAR HUNTER #7 for DC last week. His ships look closer, if inked by somebody who'd detail them between what Rubinstein did on the cover and Sutton did on the inside.

The ships are so clearly in the mode of Neal Adams' 70's space-tech. I've never seen this piece and I bow to the superior knowledge of our esteemed host that it can't be genuine Neal Adams. That makes my mind turn to Rich Buckler, who worked so much during that era, emulating Adams. He even designed tech in Adams' style as seen here.
This piece reminds me of the art that was produced for Power Records at the same time. Most of that was penciled by a small group of artists-- including Rich Buckler, Ross Andru, Garcia-Lopez, and John Buscema-- and then given a heavy dose of Neal-Adams-style inking. So, on the one hand, those would seem like the "usual suspects".
It isn't Buscema, and doesn't feel like Andru or Garcia-Lopez. For what it's worth, I don't see any reason to not suspect it was penciled by Buckler.

It does seem to be the work of Continuity Studios, in any event.

Definitely Continuity Studios
The prime suspects to my mind are Mike Nasser, Bill Seinkiewicz, or maybe Jerry Bingham.
I still say Mike Nasser.

Bowing further now to another extremely knowledgeable mind: I now believe Mr. Vandernet is right.
I was not readily familiar with Mike Nasser's work, but if you compare the square-ness in his style of drawing profiles with Superman's jaw in this piece, it's a pretty good match. And, naturally, his work is thoroughly Adams-esque.

I'm also definitely leaning heavily towards Mike Nasser as the artist.

Nasser?!? Sorry, but I don't see any Nasser-isms at all. (The Continuity look is probably from Dick Giordano inking--maybe he drew the whole thing even.)
Here's Nasser's take on Superman--
Different "S," different hair, different leg muscles/leg shape, different arm muscles, etc. Even walking straight, Nasser's legs have a curvy-ness to them, muscular while slender, sleek. The poster is not a slender, sleek Superman.

I'd say Buckler and Giordano. Though the body has a touch of Swan which might be Buckler swiping a Swan pose.

Sorry, Eric, but to disprove that the work is by Nasser you might want to pick a more emblematic example. For example, this Mon-El story
This is with Rubenstein inks instead of Giordano, but the "Nasser-isms" are much more in evidence here than in that whacky World's Finest coda you posted.

True, but I wanted to show how Nasser handles the Superman "S" (everybody does it a little different), his hair, even his belt, etc. And the teenage (or so) Legionnaires are often drawn slender, but the same artist might draw the adult Superman thicker.
