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 should have started doubling up sooner.

So far as I can determine, "Leader Comics Group" never materialized, producing only the first issue of what was supposed to be their leading title:
Leader of the Last Gaulish Village in Ancient Rome, Chief Vitalstatistix maintains his rank thanks to Asterix, Obelix and the druid Getafix!
I apologise if this cover's already been posted this month. I'm really struggling to find covers now. This month has been a bit tricky for me - I'm therefore looking forward to December and "Snowmen and other assorted snow-people (excluding Iceman)".
An odd assortment of would-be leaders soliciting your vote (in 1972, 1987 and 2017 respectively).
Here are a bunch with Spiro Agnew. He has appeared twice already (Spoof #3 and Mad #171). Is there any vice president who didn't go on to become president (e.g., Nixon) who has appeared more often?
