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 problem with transformation stories like this is that they're always undone by the end of the story. I think that it would have been much more interesting if Lois had just had to learn to live with having "monster" legs and feet.
Another horrific tug of war, courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.
Sadly, this is just a (dark) parody cover, but, had it really existed as a comic, I would love to have read it! I loved Blondie (especially Debbie) back in the late 70s and saw them live twice.
That was disappointing to learn. I clicked thinking.... Man, how did I miss this? Where can I buy this?
Several of the early Swing with Scooter covers had a horror tinge as the mid-60s was filled with Teen Spooky Comedies!
I wish I had some of the "Pseudo-Paul McCarthney" issues before he became an Archie clone!
Flash #22 and Star Spangled #22
My final Scooby Doo #22, the first of the series to reach that number.
There is probably a more interesting story about how the idea of the Ten-Eyed Man came about than any story with him ever was.
Another wonderful Ten-Eyed Man cover better than the story!
