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.

Believe it or not, I just watched this movie yesterday.
Harley Quinn #25 Neal Adams Variant Cover (April 2016). I had never heard of Harley Quinn until my 11 year old granddaughter introduced me to her a year ago. Now she's a favourite of mine.
If anyone doesn't know, this is after the cover of Superman #240 (also by Adams).
To make up for my accidentally posting something yesterday that was already posted before, two covers that haven't been posted yet, courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.
I've posted more theme covers than usual, so I'll be doubling up a lot with my issues 25. Flash #25 and Black Cat #25
Spidey gets cold feet as Iceman assists him in saving some people parrticipating in a winter sport.
Supercomix #25. A fab cover, Supercomix was a South African publisher, reprinting key Superman issues from days gone by. This story was originally published in Superman #330.
Would you believe bare knuckles fighting is a winter sport...?
