PC Board Kits

Resist pens are only good for repair -- you immerse the board in etchant for 15 seconds or so, then examine traces for scratches. Using them to fabricate even the simplest circuits is not a good idea.

If you're making single-sided boards in small quantities, and they're not very demanding (say, 20 mil min. traces) look at using the laser printer/iron-on method.

Radio Shack's P/N 276-1576 should do. The board themselves are very thin in this kit (I think, 0.008), so you may want to buy thicker boards, depending on your application. The resist pen is included, too. Well, OK, it's just a Sharpie, but it's there ;-)

Resist pens? That's so 20th century...

Since stumbling across the "Toner-Copier method", I now use pens only for touching up.
