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.

I've got one more crosstime meeting between Kal-El and (one of) his Kryptonian parents. On this occasion, though, the time travel went the other way!
Has anyone ever worked out a timeline for the number of times Kal and his ancestors met through time-travel?
DC homaged one of their own covers when a different group from the future visited Superman. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)
The Legion encounters Superboy before he was even Superbaby!

One of my favourite covers: the post-Crisis Man of Steel finds himself back in the 1940s, a familiar environment for his original incarnation.
I remember watching that show when I was tiny.
I remember hearing about that show because my older sisters had watched it and liked to riff on the theme song, like, "It's about time, it's about space, it's about time I slapped your face." Before the short-lived series struck set, Gilligan's Island reused the costumes, props, wigs, and a dinosaur in one of the "dream" eps.
