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 Kirby Klassic. I get the feeling that the Johnny panel was shoehorned in probably at Stan's insistence..
What's October without a little Mystery, Inc?
Lots o' floating heads.
Missed yesterday due to the new year I spent in temple - Shannah Tovah - so I'm doing two today,

So hands are okay? Because I have a few floating head covers where you can also see the subject's hands.
The trials and tribulations of being a nurse, and Dick Giordano art too. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)
I almost used this last month! One of my favorite Silver Age JLA stories!
There could have been TEN heads too but they left Wonder Woman out of the fun!
Show of hands? I vote "yes".
Ok, steering clear of Avengers and JLA covers for fear of posting one that's been posted before...
