Personalized anniversary comic book
An anniversary gift worth keeping
Paper is the traditional first-anniversary gift, and a comic book is the most fun thing you can print on it. Ten, fifteen, twenty-five years in, it still works: the story only gets better. You upload a few photos of the two of you, tell us the moments that matter, and we write and draw a ten-page comic where you are the leads.
Anniversary comics are the most-ordered gift we make, and the reviews say why: partners see their own faces on a cover and read the year they got engaged in speech bubbles. It gets read at the dinner table, then it goes on the shelf and stays there.
Digital comic in minutes. Printed book at your door in about three weeks with free standard shipping, or about a week and a half with the fastest option, so order early in the month for an anniversary later that month.
What you get
- Your real story. How you met, the proposal, the move, the kids, the dog. Every page is a chapter you actually lived.
- Both of your faces. Upload a photo of each of you. You become the characters, in any of eight art styles, on every page.
- Printed, with a dedication. A glossy, saddle-stitched comic with your message inside the cover. Free US shipping.
What a anniversary comic looks like
Flowers die. Dinners end. A comic book about the two of you stays on the shelf for the rest of your lives.
Sample page← ten pages like this, with their faces in every panel

Story ideas
Steal one of these, or tell us yours.
Our love story as a superhero origin: two heroes from different cities who were stronger together than apart.
Every anniversary as a chapter: the first date, the proposal, the wedding, the adventures since.
Two detectives (us) crack the case of who stole the anniversary dinner reservation, across the whole city.
We accidentally travel back through our own memories and relive the best moments in order.
What to put in it
Four things that make a anniversary comic land.
- Include the exact place you met. Readers love recognizing the real bar, park or office.
- Give the villain an inside joke: the leaky faucet, the GPS that always lied, the in-laws' casserole.
- Put the proposal on its own page. It deserves the big panel.
- End with a panel about next year. Comics are about what happens in the next issue.
How it works
Three steps to their anniversary comic.
Upload their photos
One or two clear shots per person. They become the characters and stay recognizable on every page.
Tell us the story
How you met, your favorite trip, the proposal, or your next chapter together. A sentence is enough; we write the script.
Preview free, then print
Read the first pages in minutes. Unlock the rest, redraw anything, and order it printed with a dedication.
Reviews
From people who gave one.
Great wedding anniversary gift! My husband was completely surprised, thought it was very creative, and the graphics were amazing! Would definitely recommend!
★★★★★ Kei'lah · Wedding anniversaryI cannot wait to give this to my husband! He's gonna be so excited to read it to our son at bedtime. Great quality! I love that he gave a preview before printing and shipping. He noticed that my son's hair was different and suggested we update it. He focused on all the little details and did an amazing job. 1000/10 recommend!!
★★★★★ Katrina · HusbandI came in with a very particular vision for two custom comics and he brought them to life perfectly. He was patient and responsive. My husband absolutely loved the final result. Highly recommend!

Personalized anniversary comic book: the questions people ask.
Can I make an anniversary comic for a first anniversary (the paper anniversary)?
Yes, and it is our most popular use. A printed comic book is literally paper, and it is a lot more fun to open than a card.
Does it need both of our photos?
One clear photo of each person is enough. Faces stay consistent from page to page and you can redraw any page you are not sure about before you print.
Can I include our kids or our dog?
Yes. Add them as extra characters with a photo each. Pets work especially well as sidekicks.
How long does an anniversary comic take?
The free preview draws the first pages in a few minutes. The whole comic is usually done within the hour. Printed copies ship free with standard delivery and arrive in about three weeks; faster delivery is offered when you order.
Prefer to have it made for you?
Our white-glove service on Etsy does the whole thing by hand: send the photos and the story, we write, illustrate and proof it with you before printing. Order on Etsy.
