Fantastic Four #237, with the first (and I believe only) appearance of Spinnerette.  (My next FF was #255, so it took a few years before I found out why Frankie was flashing Johnny... :-) )

What came first? JB's Marvel Team-Up run or his early Avengers work? Whichever it is, that's probably my answer.

The first Byrne comic I bought was Fantastic Four #243.  Someone on a previous page mentioned how their first Byrne comic changed their life.  This issue did the same to me.  I was only 12 and it not only made me want to read more comics; it also made me want to draw comics.

An issue of Space:1999. Still have it but not in front of me.

Other then the figures, what I recall enjoying from it was the pacing and the point of views. I don't know whether JB was working full script or whether or Marvel method, but when I later recognized the same artist wassis-name on Iron Fist I thought, "Wow, same guy but really different approach to the story!"

Couldn't agree more.

My first ever JB comic was Spécial Strange 25, french mag containing Uncanny X-Men #122 and #123.

and, years later, when I started getting original US versions the first one was Namor #5

X-Men#113 was the first JB cover on X-Men, wasn't it?

As for the Avengers cover above, the pink color is just so wrong, especially compared to JB's original intent.

This was the one that got me hooked, I bought everything Byrne put out after this:

I do remember reading this at the dentist's office as a kid (before I knew who Byrne was) and not being able to finish it before I got called in to see the doctor.  I went back to the waiting room later and couldn't find it.  I didn't get to finish it until I was in my mid-twenties & completed my Byrne FF run:
