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.

Warm feelings for the 70s Teen Titans with them increasing their ranks so much! As a kid, I "wrote" a follow up than included Captain Marvel Junior and, of all people, Toro.
My favourite Teen Titans cover - TT#21. TT meet the Hawk & Dove.
Incidentally, you may or may not be interested to know, that the above is my Photoshopped copy of my original cover of TT#21. I own that comic, but my copy has a battered and worn cover. A friend showed me how to "improve" it with Photoshop and the above is the result. Below is my original cover. Amazing what you can do with a bit of software!
