I learned about The Digital Comic Museum a week in a post by Alan Levine. Alan mentioned it in the context of using The Digital Comic Museum as a place to find comic artwork to remix magazine covers. Taking the idea another step I might have students create posters or news magazine covers about historical events, about key elements in a fiction work they're reading, or use the artwork in political cartoons they create.
