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.

Does this count as bridging February and March? It looks like a double wedding with statuettes on a stick (how weird).
My last one for February
One last Disney Valentine, still with no sign of Mickey.
The Eternal Triangle (or is it a Rectangle with Reggie?) has influenced comic book romances for eighty years!
I dug up a Mickey and Minnie cover from 1936!
Congratulations, Richard! I hoped someone would take my comment as a challenge, and find a Mickey Valentine.
Here's a Weird Alien Valentine - possibly even weirder than using statuettes on sticks to celebrate a wedding!
Finally, my last cover for February has quite the most horrifying depiction of Cupid I have ever seen!
I'll end the month with this one. Lois and Supes really do get married. this is not an imaginary story. These are not robots. etc, etc, etc.
Now, Steve, you know one part of your statement is NOT true!
