Every year since the wedding, with her on the cover.
A personalized comic book is an anniversary or birthday gift for your wife that is not jewelry: 26 pages that retell your years together with her as the hero, drawn from the photos you send. It's $49 USD, delivered as a PDF typically the same day, always within 24 hours. You know how the story goes: the first apartment, the kid who would not sleep, the kitchen she runs like a control tower. A comic book retells those years with her real face on the cover, your city on every page, and the house she holds up drawn as the thing that saves the day. Before you pay, see her as a comic hero: free, from one photo.

A gift for your wife should hold more than one year.
The years are the plot
The proposal, the move, the year the roof leaked, the summer the kids learned to swim. Each one is a chapter. The comic retells them in order, from the photos and details you give us, with her as the one who carried the story through.
The house runs on her
The calendar in her head, the dinner that appears, the fever she caught before the thermometer did. None of it looks like a superpower from inside the house. On the page it is one, and the city depends on it.
You and the kids are in it
A few people can appear, each drawn from a photo. You as the one beside her, the kids as the crew who think they are running the mission. She is the hero, and the family she built is right there on the page.

Story ideas - steal one, or tell us yours.
The wedding, one more time
The city forgets your wedding day and she has until midnight to rebuild it from memory: the venue, the song, the uncle who fell asleep.
The Commander of Breakfast
Three kids, one school bus, a villain who stole all the clean socks. She has twenty minutes and she has done this before.
The apartment that started it
The first place you rented is the last thing standing between the city and the flood. The two of you go back to hold the door.
The year she carried you
The hard year, the job loss or the diagnosis or the newborn who would not sleep, retold so the whole city sees who kept the lights on.
The list she never finished
Her to-do list comes alive and demands to be completed. She and the kids race it across the city, and the last item is a date night with you.
What to put in the form.
The years, in order
Where you met, where you married, where the kids were born. Three or four dates and places and we have the spine of the book.
What she runs
The calendar, the budget, the school run, the parents on both sides. Name it plainly and it is drawn as the power.
Photos of her, then of you
Two or three clear photos of her face in daylight. The same for you and for each kid you want on the page.
The thing you never said
The line you should have said years ago. Tell us, and it becomes the line the whole story is built to land.
Example books for wives and partners.
Easier than remembering the date.
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.
Give the gift
A high-res PDF in your inbox, typically the same day, always within 24 hours. Print it, wrap it, or send it.
A full comic book, not a strip with their name in it.

Before you start.
What is a good anniversary gift for my wife that is not jewelry?
Something with the two of you in it. A personalized comic book retells the years since the wedding with her face on the cover, your city on the pages, and the kids drawn beside her if you want them there. It's 26 pages and $49 USD, delivered as a PDF typically the same day, always within 24 hours. She will read it twice and keep it on the shelf.
Can I give my wife a comic book for Mother's Day or her birthday instead?
Yes. Tell us the occasion in the form and the story is written for it. For Mother's Day the kids become the crew and the house becomes the mission. For her birthday the year is hers alone, with you as the one who noticed. The comic is built from the details, not from the date.
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.
