There are two main features in this issue:
The Super Key to Fort Superman, originally published in Action Comics #241, June 1958
The Two Worlds of Superboy, originally published in Adventure Comics #218, November 1955
The inner front cover carries a full-page Tricksy filler strip originally published in Superman #121, May 1958, whilst the rear inner cover carries a full-page Fingerprint Curios! strip originally published in Gang Busters #33, April-May 1953.
The Super Key to Fort Superman appears to have been deemed the canonical beginning of the Silver Age Superman by DC Comics - it is the first story appearing in the recently published Superman: The Silver Age Omnibus #1, and was also the opening story in Showcase Presents: Superman #1. Oddly enough, both of these editions elect to feature cover art from Action Comics #242.
The Super Key to Fort Superman also appeared in Australia in Giant Superman Album #2. The Two Worlds of Superboy also appeared in Giant Superboy Album #6.
There is also a UK variant of Super Adventure Comic #99.

Interesting difference in the cover art, with the Australian edition extending bit further to the right. For once it doesn't look like crude alterations were made in the KG Murray office; perhaps the US original was cropped somewhat for publication?
