Napa carries them. They have cork and rubber. The rubber ones are nice because they have metal inserts and don't require a specific torque setting. Run about 10 bucks. I need to change mine too, my drive way hates me.

You will still need to torque the valve covers to spec no matter what the gasketts are made from.
