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.

Police Comics #26 and Plastic Man #26, both by Jack Cole.
The Boys #26 X2. The series returns in April to wrap up both parent and spin-off show, apparently.
This might be the first 80 Page Giant with new "cover" treatments on it - and inclding Bruce and Clark on it, of course!
Even at an early age... (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database, who says that is Kal-El and not his son Jonathan.)
So far so good on the weather front. Apparently I'm too far upstate to be affected by any potential power or service outages (yet?). However I have received well over a foot of snow. It's still coming down as I post this and the plow service won't be here until tomorrow at the earliest.
Brave and the Bold #126--It's always wonderful to have Jim Aparo draw Aquaman and Bob Haney gives the Sea King a distinct personality! Too bad that it's the Sub-Mariner's!
Superboy #60. I've never seen this cover before tonight.
Tales of Suspense #26, by Jack Kirby and George Klein, like the cover of Fantastic Four #1.
