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.

Never been to Brazil. I stumbled across the Donald Duck cover looking for "giant clam" covers.
Another no. 7 with seven characters.
I know it's July, not December, but this is Little Lulu #7.
Hotel accomodations:
Keep the AI-generated "covers" coming, JD!
Seven Avengers.
I have about nine more on this month's theme. I'm worried that I'll be tempted to drift back to Midjourney (which requires a fee) because it produces more realistic images. But Image Creator's have an amusing AI 2022 look about them.
"In the Water" with Wolverine and Elektra.
Even underwater, you can't escape the Wrath of the Spectre!
If we listed a Big Three of superheroes who can shrink a good list would be Doll Man, Atom, and Ant-Man. Maybe not the greatest superpower but it does pop up often enough. Some others of note would be Wasp, Shrinking Violet, and Elasti-Girl.
Back on July 3 Lee Houston, Junior posted Tales to Astonish #48 with Ant-Man in deadly peril.
To complete a Three of a Kind here are Atom and Doll Man facing similar perils.
Great minds think alike Dave. The Atom cover was in my reserve stock for this month, but I've never seen Doll Man outside of a few reprints and his membership with the Freedom Fighters.
