there's quite a wealth of good stuff in old stories, hopefully someone else might complete my infos.

For anyone curious about the older comics, I recommend the Essential X-Men books. There's Essential Classic X-Men 1-3, which collects the beginning of the X-Men comics in the 60s, the first fights between the X-Men and Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants, etc. Then there's Essential X-Men 1-9, which collects the later 70s-80s run by Chris Claremont that introduces characters like Storm, Mystique, and Wolverine, has classic stories like "The Dark Phoenix Saga" and "Days of Future Past," and if you're a Charles/Erik fan, the stories that established the Charles/Erik friendship and loads of character development that made Magneto more than a mua-ha-ha-ing bad guy.

There's also Classic New Mutants, which covers a time in the 80s where Magneto was redeemed and running the Institute to carry on Charles' dream and looking after the next generation of mutant kids. Over the past few years Marvel's been pretty good about keeping older comics in print, thankfully.
