What Pen Is That?


The number one question we receive on our YouTube channel is "what pen is that?" Rather than have to answer this question over and over I wanted to compile a list for you guys complete with links to where you can purchase these supplies for yourself. Below is a list of your favorite comic book artists' tools of the trade:  (Last updated 5/23/2023)






Bernard Chang

Terry Dodson



Kim Jung Gi


Adam Hughes


Erik Larsen


Stanley Lau (Artgerm)


Jim Lee

Siya Oum

Humberto Ramos

Marcio Takara




If there are any errors or if there is an artist that you'd like to see added to this list... Let me know and I'll update it ASAP.

  38. The aim of chain of responsibility (COR) is to make sure everyone in the supply chain shares responsibility for ensuring breaches of the HVNL do not occur. Under COR laws, if you are named as a party in the chain of responsibility and you exercise (or have the capability of exercising) control or influence over any transport task, you have a responsibility to ensure the HVNL is complied with.
    JMH Training & Compliance can develop and implement a Safety Management System specific to your organisation to ensure compliance with the HVNL and Work Health & Safety Act and train key personnel to be competent in maintaining that system.
