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!

Thanks. :) Means a lot to me too. :)

Just got it framed for my birthday. The framing shop set it up with full museum glass and archiving. It is a wonderful framing job.

Hard to say the value as it is always subjective but it is north of $15K.

Hi Kirk: You are right on the nose. I got it appraised by a local comic shop that deals in lots of comic art. He gave me an appraisal for $15K. ;)

I am such a huge fan of Alex's work. His pen and ink stuff is powerful.

I love Frank's work and Alien Legion. I have a Sarigar sketch that I really treasure. I should look for one of his pages.

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

When I was a senior in 1984 it came into a local shop. 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

Can I be adopted by your parents ? I'm almost 34, but I have to give it a shot, given how AWESOME your parents are !! I guess you did well...Oh, and congrats on both counts !

Thanks! I was pretty blown away when I got it. :) Now my folks have grandchildren so they are past the adoption phase. ;)

Do your parents know just how much this graduation present is worth these days?

Hey Norm! Hec, I honestly don't know what it is worth these days...how could I find out? :) John T>
