The short answer: a personalized comic book is only as good as five things: how many real story pages you get, whether the person looks like themselves on every page, whether you can see them drawn before you pay, how fast it arrives, and what happens if something is not right. Check those before the price.
The seven things to check
| What to check | Why it matters | Ask the seller |
|---|---|---|
| The real page count | A story needs room. Count the story pages, not the cover and back | "How many story pages, not counting the cover and back?" |
| The same face on every page | A likeness can drift from page to page | "Is the person checked on every page?" |
| A preview before you pay | You see the likeness before you spend anything | "Can I see them drawn first, free?" |
| Delivery time | Gifts have dates | "When does the file arrive? And the print, if there is one?" |
| Fixes and refunds | Something can be off | "Is a revision included? Is there a refund?" |
| Some people want a book in hand | "Is print on sale now, and what does it add?" | |
| Who checks the pages | Automatic tools can miss an error | "Does a person look at every page before it is sent?" |
