Archie Goodwin was inspired to recreate the Claremont/Byrne/Austin team after seeing our work on STARLORD. It was in the early Spring that I started work on the project.

"Uncanny X-Men" #108 was JB's first issue on the title. JB's first published Marvel comic with the (then) new X-Men was in "Marvel Team-Up" #53 (cover date January 1977):
And though the story takes place after "Uncanny X-Men" #108, "Iron Fist" #15 came out earlier (cover date September 1977):

That new Wolverine costume Cockrum made was not one of his finest. Glad JB changed it back pretty soon afterwards. By the way, was that your call, JB?

*****
Goodwin was the first editor that I noticed, probably because of his intros in the Epic line of comics, which I read voraciously at the time. I also liked his writing and the fact that "Archie Goodwin was inspired to recreate the Claremont/Byrne/Austin" proves that he did have great editing instincts, to say the least.

I seem to recall something odd about Wolverine's claws in MTU #53.Was there a panel that showed his claws rather short?
Am I dreaming this or is it real? If it was real...was there an explanation or reason?

David, I know the panew you are thinking about with Wolverine's claws. I thought it was meant to show the claws just beginning to pop out.

By the way, was that your call, JB?••• Dave showed me a model sheet he'd done of the Fang suit. "This is Wolverine's new costume," he said. "It's a bear to draw." I walked across the hall to Archie's office and told him I thought it was unfair that Dave should make such a radical change in the character right before leaving the book. Archie shrugged and told me to change it back if I wanted.

When did the idea for your brown costume start, JB?
