At this point Wolverine was fresh, dynamic and cool. Claremont worked wonders with him up until his run started to wane after Uncanny 137, I hated the direction the X men was going in and every other character got feet of clay like Wolverine. Of these type of characters he is still the original and like a previous poster, his direction in New Avengers gives me hope. 🙂
^nice. is it 1st print? my cuz got a reprint one.
ill have to disagree with you tho about claremont, i strongly believe his first run on the x is consistently strong and solid,and actually dark phoenix saga's conclusion gave birth to a lot of the x-men's best stories (i.e. cable). then with x-men #1-3 he wrapped up his first run with a definite classic, IMHO.
P.S. i dont own every issue of his 80's run, but i have read it either in the store or PC.
