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.

Let's add another for three of a kind
Okay. Other plans have me on the computer after midnight once again, so I might as well post my cover for Friday while I'm online. While Man-Wolf later became somewhat of a hero, John Jameson was already a national one as an astronaut before things got hairy and menacing. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)
Hot Stuff #17 and Wendy #17
Well, since you bring up the Harveyverse, here's another #17:
He's also being a menace, but that's typical.
Turns out that Tomahawk is almost as big of a menace as Superbaby
The Red Tornado has attacked the Justice League as much as the Vision has the Avengers!
But in this issue, they stop Reddy by taking him apart literally!
Ok, I'm fresh out of 'Heroes turn menacing' covers. But I came across this cover this evening, and I think it sure looks menacing! And it's a No 17.
Unlike Steve, I still have a few "Heroes turn menacing" covers, but they all seem to feature Superman. Here's a couple of them.
And don't forget to go to the "Nominations, Themes and Statistics" thread to help pick themes to follow June.
Jughead goes Punk with a whole new & different attitude and Archie doesn't like it!
