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.

I think it's in the spirit of those "I was a [Mail Order Bride or other shocking or interesting thing] articles and media like I Was a Teenage Werewolf.

Five unlucky Legionaires
There were FIVE original members of the Legion of Substitute Heroes!
Plus the regular Legion in rows of FIVE!
Another Curt Swan cover - Lois Lane #97, featuring the age-old question for Supes "Should I really go with another woman who has the initialsLL when the last few have caused me so much trouble". At age 11 to 12 I was intoxicated with all this stuff!
Any of them but Lori Lemaris. As Bob Eubanks once noted, "Too much fish to fry---not enough girl to love."
Not to mention his unusual relationship with Lex Luthor.
Somewhere Lana Lang is crying and she doesn't know why!
