Great story! Did you give them a hint, or did they pick this one out themselves? I don't know what else was available at the time, but I'm fairly certain they made the right choice

I am a huge Byrne, Avengers, and Black Panther fan so when I got home I gushed about it to my Mom. I didn't think anything of it then for graduation I opened it and my jaw hit the floor. She also had it archival framed at a local place that does stellar work. Yeah, my folks are pretty awesome. :D

This page is incredible.
I had a total of three comics as a kid and AVENGERS 181 was one of them. I read this issue over and over wondering who all of those strange characters were. Congrats on getting an amazing page!
