Alpha Flight #12... I bought it as a back issue in, I would guess 1987, possibly late 1986.
I first encountered Alpha Flight as a back up story in the pages of the Marvel UK reprints of Secret Wars. I remember being underwhelmed at first at its tone. At the time, I wanted full on super heroes, and this was slightly shifted away from that. But it grew on me in a big way. Loved the mini origin stories. UK Secret Wars stopped reprinting AF after the Super Skrull two-parter though, and hence my move to start picking up back issues. My aim was almost true ... AF 11 was one of the last of the JB issues I picked up and I went straight for 12 first. It is still a favourite: satisfyingly long, full of action and strong characterisation, building to its gut-punch of an ending.
JB, what would have been your preferred colour for the cover?
