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.

THE DARK RIDER was the villain of Marvel Team-Up #41-44 and he was a lot more impressive as a shadowy figure than when he revealed his derpy face!
Next of the Legion's minor villains, Captain Frake. Despite being a female space pirate, she still never amounted to a major villain!
When you've had a mulit-decade career and are still going strong, sometimes even those closest to you (briefly) become minor villains. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)
Star Spangled #20
As we age, we think of something or someone from our recent past and realize that it's...
The Super Friends vs. the Green Thumb! Guest starring Green Fury who eventually became Fire in the Justice League Idiots.
Yet another of the Legion's many minor villains. As Invisible Kid and Wildfire escaped from this unnamed demon, he swore:
Spoiler - he never did!
I couldn't let the month go by with THE PURPLE PILE-DRIVER who fought Superman twice but very briefly!
Almost didn't make it today. Every major hero seems to have their share of minor villains, even if they manage to hang on for a couple of issues because of serialized adventures, like the Smasher, who was in 116-118. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)
