Spookily, on the very day the new Pope was chosen, I received a batch of the 70s Marvel comic Unknown Worlds Of Science Fiction, one of which featured a comic strip version of a Silverberg story Good News From The Vatican, about the election of a robot Pope. I'd like to read Silverberg's story but don't have it anywhere. Has anyone read it? Is it worth seeking out?

Yes, it's a good story. I referred to it recently in another thread. It won a Nebula award in '71, and it can be found in that year's Nebula anthology, as well as several other places -- various Silverberg story collections, for example.
