Guess my first one would have been one of the E-Man comics, with Rog-2000 in the back.

I think it was Champions 13, then maybe a Marvel Team Up. I always think it's issue 53 of Team Up but I think I first saw the New X-men in issue 116.  In X-Men 116, I had to make the decision to accept these new X-Men as long as Cyclops was there. I was a big fan of the X-men from Son of Origins.

I think the first art by JB that I encounters other than those Iron Fist stories I read was the Tigra story in MARVEL CHILLERS #6 with Red Wolf and the Rat Pack (with the Super-Skrull showing up at the end).

But I would have to say the Iron Fist stories are what made me a fan, especially the Captain America issue.  His work on X-MEN and MARVEL TEAM-UP kind of cemented that.

And JB and FANTASTIC FOUR was pretty much the perfect marriage for me. Great characters, great stories and art, and an obvious understanding and respect for those characters.

I don't know when I started noticing JB but I do know the first JB issue I bought. It was in those Marvel 3 packs (3 comics in a sealed plastic bag. 1 facing front, 1 facing back and a mystery one in the middle)

So I got these three.

I know Rom was the middle one.
Year later i found out JB did the FF and West Coast Avengers issues I had.

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.
