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.

He even altered the more "modern" Valkyries from DC Special #29 into the Golden Age versions, not in Young All Stars #1 (Ju'87) but in America Vs the Justice Society #1 (Ja'85).
I did not know that! It makes sense, however. Reinterpretations of old myths and legends were a part of comic from the start, and Hilter's fascination with Teutonic mythology (among other things) was well-known.
On another note, is the Atom flying? Did someone throw him?
Sure looks to me as if Hourman flang the Atom. I always thought that.
More World's Finest. Here's issue 175. I'd just like to point out that the Batman Revenge Squad are in no way related to The Superman Revenge Squad.
I think that the Batman Revenge Squad was created for this issue. Did they ever reappear?
Tales of Suspense #30 and Tales to Astonish #30
For the sixth:
And from Daredevil's perspective
Luthor has teamed up with Joker, Brainiac, the Legion of Super-Villains - and then there's this pair. He must be so embarrassed, looking back at his time with the Terrible Trio! Superman #88 (March 1954).
