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.

In which case
The following week's Guide to Comics Shipping (December 6th) has also yielded a cover with a snowman.
Astro City #12. The conclusion of the Jack-in-the-Box story-cover that I posted in November. They are not clones, but enemies who say they are his son from two potential futures (one mutated and one a cyborg). His wife is pregnant with the potential enemy he had just fought two versions of! And we meet the first Jack-in-the-Box (his father) and the third one, his protégé.
Yeti...
And yet more yeti:
Another Burl Ives Snowman!
Did someone mention yeti? This issue of The Beano (#4166, 17-Dec-2022) cover-features Betty and the Yeti ("The Ordinary Girl with the Extraordinary Best Friend"). Think of them as something like a British version of Stanley and his Monster.
Little Lulu #12
