Celebrating Artist Bob Hall

Celebrating the birthday of artist Bob Hall (October 16, 1944) with a west coast party....a party of the West Coast Avengers, that is.  Due to concerns of the Vision that surfaced during the Secret Wars, he enlisted Hawkeye to form a team of Avengers on the west coast, to be better able to handle emergencies.  Hawkeye enlisted Avengers who were in the area, like Wonder Man, Tigra and Iron Man (though he didn't know to start that it was not the original Iron Man-Tony Stark, but instead James Rhodes), and Mockingbird.  This team of unsure heroes faced menaces like the Blank and Graviton in their initial mini-series.
