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.

From all of us, to all of you....
♫A very merry Christmas. And at this joyous time of year, we're glad to have you with us.♫
It's the weekend, so time for some fun with this month's theme. It's always good to have assistance when learning a new skill. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)
Betty and Veronica #28
Let's have a little fun, the Harvey gals ice skating
I was looking for a particular cover featuring Mickey Mouse. I finally gave up, but the German comic Micky Maus has been running from Jan 1951 to Jan 2026. Winter sports come up a lot, especially in the early part of the run. Anyone having trouble finding covers should look there!
Casper #8 and Walt Disney's Comics #12. Donald will have a different experience.
Well, as long as we're posting Harvey Comics:
I have avoided Huey covers
