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.

Well, someone has to say the series tag line, and this is probably far from her father's first experience dealing with her.
To me, hockey is a sport played on grass or other non-frozen surface, and what we see here is ice hockey. Is this a difference in usage between Britain and North America? Does America (and particularly Canada) even have non-ice hockey?

Maybe the Baron could add Tellurider to his list of superheroes!.This is a (as far as I know) single appearance of a hero representing the ski resort in Colorado.
What, a snowball war isn't a winter sport? It is where I come frrom!
Why are all these Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies covers accredited to Leon Schlesinger? As far as I know, the man had no artistic talent and only worked on them as a producer/presenter?
Maybe it's his version of Stan Lee Presents or Walt Disney Presents.
These guys seem to be (ice) hockey players, even if they're not actually taking part in the sport at this particular moment.
