Superman Comics #35

KG Murray's Superman Comics #35 was published c.April 1950:


The cover image is illustrated by Wayne Boring and Stan Kaye, and originally appeared on the cover of Superman #61:


The main features:

The Courtship of the Three Lois Lanes!, originally published in Superman #61, December 1949
A Dog-Catcher's Life!, originally published in World's Finest Comics #34, May-June 1948
Superman Returns to Krypton!, originally published in Superman #61, December 1949

There are two filler features in this issue. The first is a two-page Varsity Vic feature, originally published in Superboy #5; and the second is a Little Pete segment which appears on the inner rear cover and was originally published in Superman #55. This printing is likely related to the subsequent reprint in Superboy #6.

There is another full-page comics feature, Muskle - an advertisement for Kellog's Bran Flakes:


I do not have any information on the artist.

The inner front cover carries an inhouse advertisement for the Superboy Comics series which had launched around a year earlier:


The Superboy image is from the cover of Adventure Comics featuring Superboy #1:


Many of the pages in this issue include short text advertisements for the Superman radio serial by various sponsors on a range of radio stations. See the sample below:


The main features in this issue are reproduced in black and white with a grey highlight/shading. All three main features are reprinted in this fashion in Mammoth Comic Annual [#1] 1956.
