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.

Space Family Robinson #5, from 1963. A fair number of aliens here...
There is no character with the most unused potential than GOOGAM, SON OF GOOM!
Another non-humanoid alien from The Orville (I'm referring to the green guy on the left, not Lt. Gordon Malloy on the right).
Pep #13 gave us more creatures who really don't like pretty women.
Almost the end of January. Time to double-up with Captain Marvel #13.
Superman/Wonder Woman #13: Happy Lego Day!
I think Solomon Grundy is an inhuman monster. I mean... he doesn't even need to shave.
This was a comic book sequel to the film 20 Million Miles To Earth featuring the Ymir, one of the few aliens Ray Harryhausen animated as opposed to mutated creatures and mythological monsters!
Worlds Finest #110. I won't say who the cover artist is, but suffice to say it would be appropriate to post this cover next month.
Eric has already posted this cover on 11th January. Check page 2694, where I pointed out:
