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.

Only in Arthur Miller's The Crucible and the DCU, apparently. The history in these two issues is terrible on all counts.
Alan Scott wanted to remove all the evil from Earth-Two but you know what they say about "good intentions"!
Daredevil #17. John Romita's second team-up cover. One of my absolute favorites.
A feverish Daredevil also horned in on a Captain America charity event, leading to an actual fight:
The cover of JLA #113 (October 1974) asks:
No spoilers, but I'm posting it this month, so it ought to be a hero transformed into a menace*.
* If you don't know the answer, see the DC wiki plot synopsis.
This one kond of fits this month's theme
This might look like another "Hero Vs His Evil Double" but it's not! There is a superhero turned menace here!
And it has a great title!
Hey, Plas used this same line when he faced Changeling during "JLA/Titans", IIRC.
Yes, this was a great story. And my introduction to the mystery foe.
