MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD?

Finding a good pen can be as hard as finding those vintage Jordan 5's you always wanted as a kid, or that dusty original press of your favourite record. These were from Brussels and Sweden respectively and have that really good thick permanent glossy finish.

The closest thing you can get to these in England is the Edding paint pens which are dope as hell but have not yet been released with a nib wide enough for anything practical. Keep a lookout though as they've already been specially manufacturing them for Monorex to use in Secret Wars. They're looking tough and will be sure to be on the backend of a lot of damage in 2008.
Some of my favourite pens as a kid were Permopaque, permanent yet opaque in a variety of good colours. The only drawback was that they didn't have a nib you could pump. Think they've dropped out of the market now anyway. Shame.
