Hi Tom,
1)
Alpha Flight #11 "Set-Up"
They introduced Omega Flight; I loved the character / concept / apartment of Roger Bochs / Box; and the main story to the comic was only TWELVE PAGES LONG... I'd never seen a Marvel comic story so short, prior to that.
2)
Elementals #11 "The Disordered Man"
Conclusion of the Sanction storyline. Especially the bit where the codeword is given & Sanction turns into, what, a homeless woman? This struck me as nicely bizarre.
3)
Micronauts #11 "We Are The Engima Force"
Conclusion of Baron Karza's (first) rule of Homeworld; a gorgeous cover & story by Michael Golden; and, bought for me by my grandma, the very first comic I ever read, and ever owned.
4)
StrangeHaven #11 "a horizontal sprawl of relationships"
The one with Basil Fawlty. Love it!
5)
Watchmen #11 "Look Upon My Works, Ye Mighty…"
"I did it thirty-five minutes ago."

Avengers #16
-"The Old Order Changeth"
Possibly the most important event in my early understanding of how "my older brother's comics" were now "my kind of comics."
*
Fantastic Four #16
-"The Micro-World of Doctor Doom"
Revisited many times in FF history for the great story potential.
*
Amazing Spider-Man #16
-"Dual With Daredevil"
They meet, they fight. Obvious, but cool.
*
Daredevil #16
-"Enter... Spider-man!"
They meet again and fight again, but this time with a reason.
*
Champions #16
-"A World Lost!"
Seriously. This is part of the "mini-crossover event" from
Super-Villain Team-Up in which Doom rules the entire world to play a game with Magneto. Hard to believe, but
Super-Villain Team-Up was a big deal at the time.
