Marvel had such a solid line-up of artists when I started reading - Sal Buscema on CAPTAIN AMERICA, THE DEFENDERS and THE AVENGERS, Rich Buckler on FANTASTIC FOUR and the Deathlock stories in ASTONISHING TALES, George Tuska on IRON MAN, John Buscema on THOR, Herb Trimpe on THE INCREDIBLE HULK, Ross Andru on THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, Billy Grham on the Black Panther in JUNGLE ACTION, Jim Starlin on Adam Warlock in STRANGE TALES, Bob Brown on DAREDEVIL and all the great reprint titles with stories by Jack Kirby & Joe Sinnott, Gene Colan, Don Heck, Steve Ditko and John Romita.
So I don't think it was any one particular story that got me buying comics, but it I had to pick one it would be GIANT-SIZE AVENGERS #2. A true masterpiece by Steve Englehart and Dave Cockrum (with a little inking help by Neal Adams)
Then when you factor in all the other great things coming out at the time (like JB's IRON FIST, Dave Cockrum's X-MEN, Paul Gulacy's MASTER OF KUNG FU and anything by George Perez) and it was just a great time to start as a fan.
