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.

Super heroes can be cross time visitors too. Supergirl is obviously from the future.
The Thing, Captain America and Sharon Carter go the the 30th century and meet the Guardians of the Galaxy, in their second appearance though I didn't know that at the time!
The Guardians would return the favor and spend a lot of time in the 20th century!
Robin Hood meets a different set of time travellers.
Supes meets Lois of the future, and guess what! She's even worse than the 1961 model!
Almost didn't make it today. Cleopatra did make a return engagement to Rip Hunter, but for a different reason. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)
Strange Adventures #23

A short time later, they would team up with the Defenders, who would spend the next few issues in the future battling the Brotherhood of the Badoon:
Along the way, the Hulk would appear in an alien game show, and the Badoon, after falling to the combined might of the Defenders, the Guardians, and the Terran Underground, would encounter an even more implacable enemy.
