Mine was MAN OF STEEL #2, magazine rack in the supermarket.
All we got here in Uruguay before were Spanish (meaning the country Spain) Marvel stuff, mostly Secret Wars crossovers which I enjoyed for the most part but wasn't crazy about.
But then DC stuff appeared (also from Spain, Ediciones Zinco) and I remember grabbing MOS #2 and probably also #3 which had Batman!
This was like a big relaunch for Zinco, so they had articles in the magazines talking about how big of a deal it was that Byrne was in DC now.
So I knew it was something special, and I loved it and became a lifelong comics fan thanks to it I think.
Years later I learned that those Spanish editions that got here were bulks of unsold comics or something like that, and I guess that's why MOS #1 (which had a promo badge attached or something) never got here.
I only got to read it many years later when I got an American trade.
