I was just looking at amazon after I commented and the prices have changed a little since I purchased my sets. One set went up in price and one set went down.
I paid about $26 including shipping for a set of 60 pencils and a sharpener. It was the Scholar set. They are good quality and includes a nice variety of colors and shades. Right now that same set has gone up to $29.99 and the sharpener is still under $2 . I think the Scholar set was about $20 when I bought it.
I noticed there is a set of 48 Premiers for like $35 right now so you could always go that route. I had a set of premiers in HS and they are a better pencil than the Scholars, but I still think less money for more colors is worth it.
I paid about $18 including shipping for a set of 36 Verithin pencils which are great for fine details. They have a harder "lead" or whatever you want to call it. I know it's not actually lead so I hope you get what I mean. They are great for hard lines and accents. I wouldn't use these for shading or gradation. I love them. I use them for all kinds of different techniques that the softer pencils don't work as well for. Right now a set of 24 is like $12 before shipping so jump on it.
Edited to add links and change some stuff that I got wrong.
Edit to OP: Prismacolor is a great option for what you're looking to do because they work well on different types of surfaces. I'm assuming your comic collection has glossy pages, right? Regular, less expensive pencils won't work as well and you might not be able to fill in and shade everything without leaving lines and white space. I hope you show us some of the pages when you get started.
What I like more is this because I can use it for my works. I do like the Pikachu pijama-thing but I don't think they'd let me parade it in the house ;v ;
As for what I want, I'd like this
I love Kevin !
Maybe some [colored pencils?] (http://www.amazon.com/Prismacolor-Verithin-Colored-Pencils-Assorted/dp/B000MK9YWI/ref=sr_1_40?ie=UTF8&qid=1422674119&sr=8-40&keywords=colored+pencils)
I know I'm not doing anything this weekend except relaxing. Take a long bath or watch a movie this weekend, just unwind and relax!
I'm no pro by any means but I have a lot of fun drawing after work and certainly I'd love my SO surprised me with something like:
Also you can always include some nice accesories like blending stumps, different types of erasers, a good cutter/blade or sharpener.
Does she like books? Andrew Loomis' books are incredible! Drawing the Head and Hands!
These are (for me) good options for a present. Depending on budget you could increse/decrease the count on the color set but 24/36 is a good starting point.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for the compliment and question! I teach, so I strive to have neat handwriting for whiteboard work. :)
I love the Staedler triplus fineliners so far! They didn't arrive until a couple of days after my notebook, though, and I was eager to get started. :) Many of the earlier pages were done using one or more of the following:
