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.

Grimm, apparently setting this tale in a a prison for and run by either strippers or college Halloween party cosplayers:
Detective #326 was the last Jack Schiff edited issue. Julie Schwartz must have sent Hal Jordan to rescue them.
After yesterday's Superboy #96 here's #97
You like the Justice League of America? That's just nuts!
Batman: "You wanna get nuts? Come on! Let's get nuts!"
Everybody else: "Oh, shut up already! We know you had a movie!"
If it wins the nomination for October's A Cover A Day, do the figures on the left hand side of this cover count as floating heads?
That's not exactly what I had in mind when I put forth the nomination (as you seem to have guessed), but I will concede some of those may become necessary toward the end of the month when all the "true" floating head covers have been used.
