Fountain Pens Compared: Choose Fine-Nib Writing, DC Comics Style, or Flex Nibs

Choosing among these fountain pens starts with format: a complete fine-nib Pilot or Montegrappa pen versus Majohn flex replacement nibs. Compare the character designs, materials, packaging, and prices to match the pen-or part-you actually need.

Last updated Aug 25, 2026

Choosing among these fountain pens is less about finding one universal answer and more about identifying the format you actually need. Three entries are standalone pens with fine nibs; the Majohn entry is a two-piece flex replacement-nib package. A shopper seeking a pen should start with Pilot or Montegrappa, while an owner of a named Majohn model should treat the fourth choice as an accessory, not a competing pen. Start with that distinction, then compare design, material, nib details, and price.

Quick take

  • A complete fine-nib pen: Pilot and both Montegrappa titles fit this route; the Majohn product is a replacement part.
  • A character-led design: Wonder Woman brings rose-gold material; Batman uses resin.
  • A period-style choice: Pilot's 1970s New-Old-Stock title and grey-and-black finish are the defining cues.
  • A flex-focused accessory: Majohn names replacement nibs and suitability for the P136, P138, and P139 (#6 nib) series.

Listed-price comparison

The prices are easiest to read alongside format: the two Montegrappa pens sit near the top, while the Pilot and Majohn options sit near the bottom but serve different purposes.

Decision matrix

  • Writing with a standalone pen: Compare Pilot, Wonder Woman, and Batman. The Majohn product is a replacement-nib accessory rather than a fountain pen body.
  • Fine-nib choice: The three pen titles identify fine nibs, so design, material, packaging, and price do more to separate them.
  • Character design: Choose between Wonder Woman and Batman; rose-gold material and resin provide a concrete visual distinction.
  • Existing Majohn model: The P136, P138, and P139 (#6 nib) suitability named for Majohn is the key filter.
  • Vintage styling: Pilot's 1970s New-Old-Stock wording, grey body, matte black cap, and brushed chrome trim make it the period-focused option.

Product notes

MONTEGRAPPA DC COMICS WONDER WOMAN FINE NIB

MONTEGRAPPA DC COMICS FOUNTAIN PEN WONDER WOMAN FINE NIB

The Wonder Woman title makes this the clearest choice for a shopper who wants a character-led fountain pen rather than an understated design. Its rose-gold material and fine stainless-steel nib give the pen a specific decorative-and-writing brief, while the Italian origin is part of its profile. The practical limitation is packaging: no box or manual is included with the pen. Ink color is listed as none, so it is not presented as an ink-included set. Choose it for the Wonder Woman name and rose-gold finish; skip it when packaging matters as much as the pen itself.

MONTEGRAPPA DC COMICS BATMAN

MONTEGRAPPA DC COMICS FOUNTAIN PEN BATMAN

Batman gives this Montegrappa a different visual direction while keeping the fine stainless-steel nib and Italian origin shared with the Wonder Woman pen. Resin is the named material, so the useful choice is between the Batman identity and the Wonder Woman rose-gold material, not between different nib sizes. It suits a shopper who wants the DC Comics character to lead the purchase. The limitation is explicit packaging: no box, just pen, and ink color is listed as none. Choose it for the Batman identity and resin construction when those details matter more than presentation extras.

Pilot Love II Grey & Black Fountain Pen

Pilot Love II Grey & Black Fountain Pen - Fine Nib - 1970s -New-Old-Stock In Box

This Pilot is the focused choice for someone drawn to the 1970s New-Old-Stock wording in the title. The grey body, matte black cap, brushed chrome trim, and fine stainless-steel nib create a specific vintage-leaning look, while the filling system uses a converter or modern Pilot cartridge. That combination gives the purchase a clear identity beyond its price. The limitation is fit for purpose: it is a fountain pen rather than the flex replacement-nib package aimed at the named Majohn series. Choose it for the period styling and the stated Pilot filling options.

2PCS Majohn Fountain Pen Flex Replacement Nibs

2PCS Majohn Fountain Pen Flex / Flexible Nib Elastic Replacement Nib

This is the right format when the goal is a nib replacement or flex-focused change for a Majohn pen in the named series. The product names P136, P138, and P139 (#6 nib) as suitable, and its flexible-nib description gives an approximate 0.3-2.0 mm range. The replacement format is the concrete reason to choose it over the three standalone pens. Its limitation is just as important: it is not a fountain pen body, so it cannot serve a shopper who needs a pen to write with immediately. Keep the decision tied to the named Majohn models and the flex-nib purpose.

Final recommendation by use case

  • Lowest-priced standalone pen: Pilot Love II Grey & Black Fountain Pen at $20. Its 1970s New-Old-Stock title makes it the straightforward pick when price and period styling lead.
  • Wonder Woman design: Montegrappa DC Comics Fountain Pen Wonder Woman Fine Nib at $105. Choose it for the rose-gold material and named character, while factoring in the no-box-or-manual packaging.
  • Batman design: Montegrappa DC Comics Fountain Pen Batman at $99. It is the character-led alternative with resin material and the same fine nib size.
  • Replacement nibs for the named Majohn series: 2PCS Majohn Fountain Pen Flex Replacement Nibs at $20.98. Choose it for the P136, P138, and P139 (#6 nib) use case, since it is not a pen body.
