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.

Warren G. Harding, President from 1920 to 1923 when he died in office!
The Secret Service's main job was to protect him from the First Lady!
He's usually ranked as the "Worst President" but we can only hope!
An alternative possibility for President Ron.
Wendy #11: we take in a drive-in movie with Wendy and Casper.
Station Eleven includes a fictional graphic novel as a part of its plot. Inevitably, it became a reality:
This isn't a comic book cover (obviously), but The Eleven is an adversary of the Doctor, a Time Lord who retains all of his previous personalities each time he regenerates (which has driven him quite insane). Mark Bonner has a disinct voice for each of the personalities.
As usual, I try to have some fun with the monthly theme on weekends whenever possible so, courtesy of the Grand Comics Database...
Sorry if I already posted this one. Here's two to be sure.
I'm quite sure that this presidential candidate is too young to be eligible to stand!
Why did Archie's friends call him "Little Archie" when he was a kid? Did your friends inexplicably call you "Little Peter" (sorry) or "Little Eric" or suchlike when you were kids? I mean, I knew one kid who was "Little Charlie" at home, but that was because he was Charlie Jr. and his friends didn't call him that outside of the house.
Li'l Abner... Little Orphan Annie... even Little Annie Fanny. There's a prescedent at play here.
