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'm sticking with the 'Archie' theme...
Running late tonight but, courtesy of the Grand Comics Database...
Justice League #12. The first appearance of Dr Light.
Because it was there.
To be honest, I never had much connection to Tom & Jerry (and Tuffy). But as kiddie snowman covers go, this one's pretty good.
I never use Google to search for covers, but I've had one image stuck in the back of my mind for a week now. I've been waiting for someone else to jog my memory by posting it, but so far no luck. Last night I resorted to Google and discovered it wasn't a comic book cover I was thinking of at all, but rather a scene from the Beatles' second movie, HELP!
While I was there, I also found this one:
Finally, although this is not a comic book cover, it is, at least, "snowman adjacent."
Not quite Casper
"Spunky" appears to be molesting that snow-ghost.
Snowman Horror that's quite...Unexpected!
