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.

I don't know WHO is the menace on this cover... but it don't look like they're gettin' together fer a poker game!
Betty Ross gets turned into THE HARPY, her first gamma-irradiated alter ego!
I don't want to know what this did to her physiology and anatomy!
Two-Face is definitely a classic case of a split personality/potential menace, but Superman??? (Image courtesy of the Grand Comicbook Database.)
Harvey Dent was apparently not involved this time when Batman became a two-faced menace.
This was the issue that said that the Waynes were cremated and their urn is kept in the Wayne Summer home!
How that passed editorial I have no idea!
Haven't we seen their gravestones?
Numerous Times!
Remember, this took place on Earth-B (for Boltinoff.) So obviously, AFTER these events, Batman moved their ashes to graves. Problem solved!
Supes obviously concerned here, in case he becomes a menace, but I can hardly conceive of such an action taking place at the moment, given the current administration.
Two from Gil Kane. Atom #17 and Green Lantern #17
