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.

Only three characters on one cover. You'd think two heroes would have an easy time overcoming one villain. Then again, I always wondered why they didn't save this adventure for an issue of World's Finest. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)
This was part of the "Who Killed Batman?" storyline where the Dark Knight was believed to be dead and all his enemies had a "trial" to prove who really did it with Two-Face as the prosecutor!
Luthor claimed to have ended Batman in a scheme to kill Superman, of course!
I remember the storyline, but still feel it was cheating bringing a "ringer" in to testify and DC should have saved Superman and Batman versus Lex Luthor for an issue of World's Finest. Just the cover you posted Phillip shows there were plenty of Bat villains to consider as suspects.
Ghidorah or Gridrah the THREE-Headed Monster!
a sorta-sexy three-headed monster.
Little Dot #3
Un centième anniversaire français for Daredevil, and the original US edition from which the French cover was reprinted.
The GCD notes that the Daredevil figure has been "heavily edited". Did you notice?
