Default What are good inking pens for making comics?

Hey guys. I am about to head on my way to the art store Micheal's for a few things. One of which is getting inking pens. For awhile now. I have been working with pencils and I want to get around to making a few comics. However, I need the right pens for the job. So what are good pens for inking comics?

I am looking for the pens that Robert Crumb, Doug Tennapel, Jeff Smith, and Bill Watterson use to ink comics. What pens did these guys use? I am also looking for these pens that are not too expensive.

They should. I don't know I don't shop at Michael's, but if it's an arts/hobby store, then likely.

It's two sided. One side is for fine lines, the other side is for larger ones.

Um....

I don't think they used pens, LePlaya. They probably used brushes (#2 and #0, likely) and maybe some pen NIBS. Gillot or Hunt.

And ink. Windsor and Newton is popular.
