In the original Avengers # 173, the inking credits were given to D. Hands. In the letters page to #179, it was explained that "D. Hands" was a pseudonym standing for Diverse Hands, as 7 different inkers worked virtually overnight to ink the issue. All 7 inkers were listed in that letters page along with the pages that they inked. All seven inkers were also listed under the credits for this issue in The Official Marvel Index to the Avengers Vol 2 #3.
"D. Hands" in not listed as a credit in this reprint volume, and neither are five of these inkers. Only Klaus Janson and Pablo Marcos are credited as inkers in this volume.
The Page numbers indicated are the story page numbers, with the actual volume page numbers in parentheses.
