KG Murray's Superman Supacomic #10 was published c.May 1960:
The main features:
The Zebra Batman, originally published in Detective Comics #275, January 1960

The Ghost of Jor-El!, originally published in Superboy #78, January 1960
Prisoner of the Super-Heroes!, originally published in Adventure Comics #267, December 1959
This issue includes two full-page filler features: Warden Willis, originally published in Detective Comics #276; and Jail Jests, originally published in Batman #129, February 1960. Coincidently, both of these fillers were reprinted in Superman Annual [UK] 1963
A few notes:
1. Although Batman (and Robin) appeared on the cover of many Superman Supacomic issues - generally courtesy of World's Finest Comics - this is the only cover to feature Batman and Robin and to exclude Superman in some form. According to AusReprints series such as Batman and Super Adventure Comic ended c.January 1960. As Batman no longer had a dedicated KG Murray ongoing series, this cover may have been earmarked for Batman #116 - and I note the issue begins with three Batman-centric features. This is just my musing.
2. The DC issues are cover-dated December 1959-February 1960, with an on-sale date some two months beforehand, so Australian readers read these stories some 6 months after their US publication.
3. The stories are all drawn from the main cover features of their US counterparts
4. Many of these stories were reprinted by KG Murray in series such as Giant Batman Album and Giant Superman Album
