This is going to sound very funny...but my favorite comic I used to love faithfully reading was Sergio Aragones Groo the Wanderer. I don't have a single issue popping into my head right now but when I was a kid I remember picking up issue #14 of the Marvel/Epic run off the magazine rack at Waldenbooks and was hooked. I was a huge Conan fan and this parady/comical Conan type was a big hit with me and my best friend who also began collecting Groo the same day. I soon went to my LCS and got all the back issues. Still have them all to this day.

One of the very first comics I ever read, Amazing Spider-Man #42. Picked it up off the comic rack at a drug store. I still remember the image of Mary Jane, standing there at Peter's door, saying "You just hit the jackpot, Tiger." That's why Romita Sr. is the quintessential Spidey artist for me.

The Famous First Edition of Batman #1. Amazing issue with first Catwoman, great Hugo Strange story, etc. All in glorious over-size format. Cheap reading copies available--everyone should have one in his collection.
Second place: Our Army at War 244. "Easy's First Tiger." Best war comic ever. Stunning Russ Heath art job.

I would have to go with AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #'s 121 and 122(those books taught me a lot about loss as a seven year old kid). Closely followed by DONALD DUCK #26("Trick or Treat!" by Barks) and SHOCK SUSPENSE #9(the all around best EC comic book IMHO).
