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.

This isn't a cover, but a wonderful Nancy Comics clip that I picked up from Bluesky today. Written and drawn by Ernie Bushmiller, and published Jan 20th, 1951. Not relevant to this month's theme but at least it's about snow...
That's hilarious!
On the other hand, there's also the potential consequences of Global Warming/Climate Change. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)
I can't quite understand why little Archie doesn't want to visit the planet Snow. Surely that's every kids' dream!
This rather disturbing cover to The Green Lantern Corps #215 features Salakk, a non-humanoid alien member of the corps.
That looks like Light Lass of the Legion of Super-Heroes, but I don't remember if it was. It could just be another redhead with short hair wearing her colors, since Ayla Ranzz lived 1,000 years after Salaak.
Actually, it is a future, but not the Legion's.
This is Salakk as Pol Manning kissing Iona Vane in her native time period, the 58th century.
OK, that rings the memory bell. Thanks!
