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.

Anything we can get you Metal Men? A cool oil cocktail? Some cobalt loungers? Maybe someone to HELP BATMAN?!?
Going by Brave and the Bold alone, Sgt. Rock's post-WWII military career is disturbing at best!
Again, I'm guessing that a death touch is probably quite menacing.
I read the synopsis on the
DC Database | Fandom
The story by Leo Dorfman was very clever. Because this was a Supergirl story, she’s smarter than her cousin. He fell for a trick; she didn't.
Sometimes menaces are created as a result of good intentions. Having read the story when it originally came out, concerned with school security, Mister Weatherbee meant well... (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)
It looks as though Saturn Girl has become a menace on this cover - at least to Lightning Lass (or Spark as she was apparently called at this time).
Journey into Mystery #17
It's National Penguin Day! At least one of these stories features Batman as a menace:
