Well, some of that doesn't look too bad.

In the second grade I won some sort of contest and was asked what I would like for a prize; I answered "a Spider-Man comic" and the next day was given the MTU issue with Thor and the Living Monolith. A couple years later some fool in my fourth grade class traded me his X-Men #127; that's what got me hooked.

Secret Wars UK release, it had a reprint of Alpha Flight 1 as a "back-up" story. Pretty exciting as a ten year old.

How can Wolverine's claws retract with that kind of arc?

I wish I could remember, probably one Iron Fist or X-Men or even one of the countless team-ups. Only thing sure, I wasn't a FF fan in those days
It could be that issue when the X-Men are turned into Circus freaks.

Not sure about the cover. They were a mixture of original and British covers, I'm guessing that one was British.

I would have been around 5 or 6 years old when this came out.

I know this is going to make me look bad, but did you guys always know who the artist/writer were? Because I didn't and I am thinking it's a guy thing.

Jodi, it's honestly not something I paid any attention to until Fantastic Four 233. That book (and my age and mindset at the time, of course) took comics to a whole new level for me. Suddenly I needed to see more not only of the Fantastic Four (which was how comics had always worked for me before) but also of this John Byrne guy who wrote a drew that issue.
From then on, I watched names, and became aware of whose work I responded to the best - and not just the writer and the artist. Inkers, letterers, and colourists made a difference in my comic world too.
Editors? Meh.

I can't remember when I started paying attention to the names of the creators, but i was definitely young. I don't think it was strictly comic books that started me down this road - I think it was Warner Bros. cartoons.
Early on I noticed cartoons that Chuck Jones directed were going to be consistently funny and perfectly drawn, while other directors would be hit or miss. The same thing was happening in comics - I knew that JB had an art style that was better, so I looked for his name. His moving to Fantastic Four showed me that his storytelling was better as well.

I'm not quite sure the exact first JB comic I read, but the one that really sticks in my mind as one that put me awe was this one:
The cover had me fixated (it was in a pile of comics a friend of one of my aunts brought over to have me go through after she told him I was into comics). It was the conclusion to a great story but I read it without knowing what came before and didn't feel lost.
