Ok, how about this for an idea. We take it in turns to post a favourite (British spelling) comic cover every day. This went really well on the comic fan website that I used to frequent. What we tried to do was find a theme or subject and follow that, until we all got bored with that theme. I'd like to propose a theme of letters of the alphabet. So, for the remainder of October (only 5 days) and all of November, we post comic cover pictures associated with the letter "A". Then in December, we post covers pertaining to the letter "B". The association to the letter can be as tenuous as you want it to be. For example I could post a cover from "Adventure Comics" or "Amazing Spider Man". However Spider Man covers can also be posted when we're on the letter "S". Adventure Comic covers could also be posted when we're on the letter "L" if they depict the Legion of Super Heroes. So, no real hard, fast rules - in fact the cleverer the interpretation of the letter, the better, as far as I'm concerned.
And it's not written in stone that we have to post a cover every day. There may be some days when no cover gets posted. There's nothing wrong with this, it just demonstrates that we all have lives to lead.
If everyone's in agreement I'd like to kick this off with one of my favourite Action Comic covers, from January 1967. Curt Swan really excelled himself here.

Challengers #31 and Sea Devils #31, my last for July.
For the 31st day of the 31st month, 31 "people" (including Orrgo, but not the people in the stands) on the cover of Strange Tales #90.
Another month is about to split! Here's another Cap cover:
It's kind of a split cover... and definitely a transition cover!
The Thing must survive the touch of the Man-Thing while remembering teaming with the Howling Commandos, doing his patriotic duty during World War II!
Panelled patriotic cover and therefore (hopefully) an acceptable transition cover.
A Superman #132 features a split cover depicting a timeline that splits off when Krypton doesn't split apart:
Why does Kryptonian Kal wear his Superman suit as an adult? Why does the Kryptonian hero "Futuro" have an "F" on his chest?
Two Journeys from Atlas that are numbered 32. Also, Journey into Mystery #32 fits the theme.
Here we go!
