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.

Efrem Zimbalist Jr went on to work as a voice actor in many animated shows, primarily as Alfred Pennyworth. Roger Smith went on to manage and revive the career of his wife, Ann-Margret, to whom he was married for fifty years until his death.
Maynard J. Grebs and Dobie Gillis got reimagined, revtalized and renamed WINDY AND WILLY in Showcase #81 and got a four issue run in 1969!
They made a cameo in Showcase #100 but were drawn as Maynard and Dobie!
Dobie, Maynard, and the rest of the cast were more famously reinvented in 1969. Every comic company had them for a time, but Harvey's take on the series only lasted three issues:
I have some comments on Dobie Gillis, which I am posting on the Anything, Everything, or Nothing At All thread.
The Adventures of Robin Hood, Gold Key version, ran seven issues.
