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.

Here's a trio of minor DC villains; the Fox, the Shark, and the Vulture!
I seem to recall that "The Hunter" was a very minor villain. Did he ever reappear?
He feels a little like a craven rip-off of another character.... but the Big Two have that history.
It's also a Zaroff, but I'll let that slide as literary allusion.
The Hunter (Otto Orion) died in Adventure #358, which was his first and only appearance. His son, Adam Orion, appeared in Superboy #199, also calling himself The Hunter, and blaming the Legion for his father's death. It was a less-than-impressive debut, as he was defeated single-handedly by Bouncing Boy.
Adam later joined the Legion of Super-Villains.
On weekends, I try to have a little fun with the monthly theme whenever possible. The Adam West-Burt Ward version of Batman certainly gave us a few minor league villains to round out the licensed major villains Joker, Penguin, Riddler and Catwoman. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)
I beg to differ, Egghead, played by the legendary Vincent Price, was a major league villain on the TV series along with King Tut, both of whom made multiple appearances!
King Tut finally made it into comics in 2009.
The Unknown Protector made jusy a couple more appearances according to Marvel Fandom site
Batman #20
