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.

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.

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.

Like JB said, though, I didn't note any of the names. In fact, I think because of the "Stan Lee Presents" at the beginning my child brain thought Stan was narrating the caption boxes the way he narrated the cartoons I watched. Later, when I was in junior high, an older kid who was also a comic reader told me those issues I had saved were by "John Byrne" who was super-famous and therefore they would be worth money. Like I would have sold them.

Here in the UK at the time it was only the local newsagent that sold American comics and what he got in stock, was an absolute lottery.

I had been lucky by finding Atari Force and the wonderful art of Garcia Lopez. I was entranced. And at that moment, I couldn't imagine that i could love an artist as much.

Moving this story on, I was devastated that there was no new issue of Atari Force one month and there was much lamentation on my part to the poor newsagent. 

He said here, this one begins with an 'A'. and handed me Alpha Flight number 1. And I fell head over heels in love with the artwork. It altered my very DNA and how I saw the world around me. To this day I see thing best when I see them through the eyes of this amazing artist, John Byrne.

That's it.

I've recently gone through some health stuff...which has left me feeling old. but fifteen years from now, I will wish to have made more of this time, while I was mobile enough to utilise it. 

Please don't feel old John, you are loved and idolised by many of us.
