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.

Police Comics #13. Another WWII recycling gag.
Paper Girls #13: I miss the days of news moving slowly, though this series does not exactly bask in nostalgia. From the start we encounter both the best and worst of the past as the Girls have their adventures, and I think that matters.
A couple more cloud monsters
The secret is that at 2:00 AM, he disappears for an hour.
The same could be said of this cover!
Say what you want about the Faceless Creature from Saturn (aka the Faceless Hunter), he's not going to blend in with the crowd!
Unfortunately I have nothing to honor Jimmy Carter with today, so here's one of the "tamer" Mystery In Space covers, courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.
I could loan you this Golden Book:
Leading Comics #13. All seven (+1) of the Seven Soldiers of Victory made the cover.
