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.

Another one-shot in celebration of Jack Kirby's centenary.
Two heroes had a tough time defeating one villain in my previous post, so you'd think THREE heroes would have an easier time defeating the same villain. Well...

Not quite sure what anniversary this was meant as. Blondie debuted in 1930 and this comic is from 1959. The 29th, I guess.
My dog (who wears a cat suit) would have gone for his belt.
My last March cover. I used all I had and didn't lose any.
I'll end March with a couple of simple "First Anniversary" covers. I'll also remind you that the theme for April is "Number 4 or Vs Mother Nature", and direct you to the "Nominations, Themes and Statistics" thread for discussion on themes to follow April.
Here are a couple of bunny-themed issues #3.
Happy Easter
One more celebrating Kirby's 100th...
...and a "transition" cover:
"Three Stand Together" and the Fantastic Four.
HAPPY (three characters on one cover) or HOPPY (this was allegedly Walt Kelly's third themed issue) EASTER EVERYBODY! (Images courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)
Here's a couple of green anniversaries... green, the color of Mother Nature's clothing in Springtime.
