Their face on the cover. Their world in the panels.
Every kid already believes they are the hero. This makes it official. A 26-page comic book built from your photos, with their real face on the cover, their bedroom, their school, their dog and their current obsession - dinosaurs, rockets, football - as the plot. Written for their age. A book they will actually read.
A gift for a kid should get read twice.
It is about them, exactly
Their room with the poster over the bed. Their school, their street, their pet drawn from a photo. The obsession of the month becomes the plot, so the hero who loves rockets gets a rocket story, not a generic one.
It is written for their age
Tell us how old they are and what they can read on their own. The words, the jokes and the danger are pitched to that, from simple lines for the little ones to a real plot for a ten-year-old.
It is a reason to read
A kid who dodges chapter books does not dodge a comic where they save the day. 22 story pages and 50+ panels, with their own name in the speech bubbles. That gets finished, then read again to the grandparents.

Story ideas - steal one, or tell us yours.
The dinosaur in the backyard
Something big is living behind the shed and only one kid on the street knows how to talk to it. The grown-ups, as usual, are no help.
Launch day at school
The science fair rocket actually works. Now the whole class is stuck on the roof of the gym and the hero is the only one who read the instructions.
The final whistle
Down by one, the field flooding, the team out of ideas. A football story where the kid's real skill, and the real dog, win the day.
The night light hero
Everything under the bed is real tonight, and it turns out it is scared too. The kid who makes friends with the dark, drawn gently for bedtime.
The best big sibling
A new baby, a tired house, and one kid who quietly becomes the hero of it. For the child who just got promoted to big brother or sister.
What to put in the form.
Their age and reading level
Tell us how old they are and whether they read alone or with you. The words and the plot are pitched to that.
The obsession of the month
Dinosaurs, rockets, football, a specific cartoon horse. Name it precisely and it becomes the plot instead of a background detail.
Photos from your phone
Two or three clear, recent photos, face visible, no hat. Add photos of the pet too, so the coat and markings come out right.
The school and the street
Name the school, the park, the street, and describe their room. Add the thing they always say. It all ends up on the page.
Comics we have made for young heroes.
Easier than the school bake sale.
Tell us about them
A short form and a few photos. Their personality, your occasion, the details only you would know.
We build their comic
An original story with them at the center - their real face on the cover, their city as the setting. A person checks every page before it ships.

Before you start.
What age is a personalized comic book good for?
Any age that likes being the hero, as long as the book is written for it. Tell us how old they are and whether they read alone or with you, and the words, the jokes and the danger are pitched to that. A six-year-old gets short lines and a friendly plot. A ten-year-old gets real stakes.
Which comic style do kids like best?
The 3D animation style is the natural pick for kids: big eyes, soft light, the look of the films they already know. Older kids may prefer anime or the modern comic look, and both are there. All six styles are open to you, and the drawing is built from your photos whichever one you choose.
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.
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.
Also a good gift for...
They already think they are the hero. Prove it.
Their face on the cover, their room in the panels, their dog beside them. A book they will read tonight and again tomorrow.
