Colour Comics' The Hundred Comic #90 was published c.April 1964:
The cover is slightly modified from the original cover of DC Comics' The Flash #139:
The main contents:
Menace of the Reverse-Flash!, originally published in The Flash #139, September 1963
The Secret Face of Funny-Arrow!, originally published in World's Finest Comics #138, December 1963
Pow-Wow Smith, Medicine Man!, originally published in Detective Comics #181, March 1952

There are also two full-page filler strips: an Amazing Ratios strip originally appearing in Strange Adventures #54, March 1955, which also previously appeared in K.G. Murray's Strange Adventures #18, 1956, but note this reprint is most likely related to the DC Comics reprint in House of Mystery #99, June 1960; and a Peter Puptent Explorer strip originally published in My Greatest Adventure #75, January 1963.
Menace of the Reverse-Flash was also published by K.G. Murray in Giant Flash Album #9, based on the DC Comics reprint in The Flash #205.
The advertisements do not contain a date code - the publication date above is based on the AusReprints date.
A great issue with a classic cover and a variety of genres, some not reprinted since this issue, according to the GCD, including a little seen Magazine Enterprises feature.
Over 10 years ago I waxed lyrical regarding the front cover and, in looking around for any further commentary on the Australian edition, I found nothing other than scans of my copy circulating on the GCD site and AusReprints, so I figured it was high time I provided a high res scan and index the contents.

A beautiful issue as you say. I have it. No chance of getting original DC but of course the emotional resonance of KG Murrays is stronger.
