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.

The artist on the Bran Flakes ad is Dan Russell (one of the bottom panels is signed). He was a frequent contributor to Franjo Johnson’s comics in the 1940s, but is probably best known as the writer and artist on the lead feature in Tex Morton’s Wild West Comics. Nice to see more of his work.
