Does anyone remember JB's take on this classic cover on Marvel Age? He drew himself in the creature's position.

No way to be 100% sure, but I'm confident it would have been this:

Probably reprints of Alpha Flight as back-up stories in the UK version of Secret Wars.

My first was the same as Bill Mimbu... Space: 1999 #4. This issue had everything: freaky froggy aliens, a healthy helping of JB high tech spaceships, and an interesting astronomical phenomena-related split personality plot. IIRC, it also had a cool backup text short story where the punchline was that a "geologically unstable" planet the Alphans landed on and quckly fled from was, in fact, a giant egg from which a baby insectoid alien hatched at the end. Anyway, it made my ten-year-old brain reel.

Art Note: I mention this whenever one of these comes up, in the hopes it will help others avoid my mistakes. Notice how the rubble on the cover Joe posted is virtually all skewing left, due to my being right handed.Something to watch out for -- and to avoid!

FF # 239 Wendy's Friends is the first Byrne I bought and I didn't care for the story -- kinda off beat for the FF. The next one I picked up was FF # 242 the beginning of the Galactus trilogy and I was hooked.

I need to get the cover to FF 260 framed. It is what my friend Robert and I like to call "Oh shit!" covers that you just had to buy and read on the car ride home.

That Red Sonja piece on the last page was published in Savage Sword of Conan #15, so you may have actually gotten a check for that one. A little itty-bitty check, maybe, but it was printed in a real Marvel mag, not just a fanzine.

Like the blurb says at the top, "It's your first issue."
My younger brother bought this one, and we read and re-read it until it fell apart. I knew that I'd seen higher-numbered Superman comics as recently as the preceding summer, and I had a hard time wrapping my head around this being a #1 issue--that made reference to an even earlier comic in the footnotes.
Not long after this, I started reading Classic X-Men, and was pretty thoroughly hooked on comics by the end of 1987.
