A gift for a girlfriend should prove you noticed.
It is built from what she said
The bakery she mentioned once. The friend she calls every Sunday. The word she uses when she is tired. You put those in the form, and they come back as panels. Nothing in it could have been bought for anyone else.
Her city, her thing, her friends
Her real skyline behind every page. The half-marathon, the ceramics class, the bookshop shift, turned into the power that saves the city. Her best friend drawn in from a photo, if you send one, as the ally who shows up in the third act.
You, drawn in beside her
Send your own photos and you become the co-star: the one who holds the map, or the one she rescues on page nineteen. Or stay out of the frame and sign the dedication. Either way, she is the hero.

Story ideas - steal one, or tell us yours.
The bakery she mentioned once
Someone is buying up every place she loves, one Saturday at a time. The hero who noticed first is the only one who can prove it, starting at the bakery.
The Sunday phone call
Her friend calls every Sunday. One week the call does not come, and the hero has to work out why, with the friend drawn in for the ending.
The plants have names
Forty houseplants, all named, all listening. When the city's power goes out, the hero discovers what they have been saying about her, and about you.
The mile twenty-two problem
The race she trained for all winter, retold as the city itself trying to stop her. Each landmark is a checkpoint. You are at the finish line, drawn in.
The thing she said in March
She said it once and forgot. The hero spends the whole book proving she was right, and the last page is you admitting it.
What to put in the form.
The thing she mentioned once
The bakery, the band, the trip she keeps not booking. Small things she said in passing are what make her stop on a page.
Her thing, by name
The half-marathon, the ceramics wheel, the choir, the plants. Name it and it becomes the power, not set dressing.
Photos of her, and of the friend
Two or three clear daylight shots of her face. Same for her best friend, or for you, if either is in the story.
The feeling you are going for
Seen, teased, or moved to tears on the couch. Say which. Tender with one good laugh in it is a safe bet.
Example books with a woman as the hero.
Easier than pretending you remembered.
Tell us about her
A short form and a few photos. Her personality, your occasion, the details only you would know.
We build her comic
An original story with her at the center: her real face on the cover, her city as the setting. A person checks every page before it ships.

What is a thoughtful gift for a girlfriend?
The thoughtful part is the details, and a comic book runs on them: her face on the cover, her city as the setting, the thing she does turned into the power, her best friend drawn in, and the small thing she mentioned once as the plot. It's 26 pages and $49 USD, delivered as a PDF typically the same day, always within 24 hours.
Can I be in my girlfriend's comic with her?
Yes. Add yourself as a second character with two or three photos and you are drawn in beside her - the co-star, the one at the finish line, the one she saves. She stays the hero. If you would rather not be drawn, you can still sign the dedication page.
How fast is it?
Most comics are delivered the same day you order, and always within 24 hours. You get a high-resolution PDF by email, sized for printing at home or at any print shop.
Can I see it before I pay?
Yes. Add one photo and the order form draws a free preview of your person as a comic hero in about 30 seconds, in the style you choose and in their own clothes, before you pay. You get two tries, and your book starts from this hero.
What do you need from me?
Two or three clear photos of the person, a few details about them, and the occasion. The form takes a few minutes. The more specific the details, the more the story feels like them.
What if something is off?
Every comic includes one free revision, and there is a 14-day refund window. A person reviews every page before it is sent.
Is it really 26 pages?
Yes: a cover, a dedication page, 22 story pages, an epilogue and a back cover, with more than 50 individually composed panels. It is a full comic book, not a strip or a poster.
