Dad, the action hero he always claimed to be.
He says he does not want anything. He has never seen anything like this. A personalized Father's Day comic starring Dad, drawn from his photos, written from your stories.
Personalized Father's Day comic book
The Father's Day gift he will not put down
Ties, mugs, socks. Dad has a drawer full. A custom Father's Day comic is the first gift he has to sit down and read: ten pages where he is the retired secret agent called back for one last mission, or the coach who finally wins the championship, or simply the guy who fixed everything, drawn as the hero he was.
It works from kids, from adult children, from a partner on behalf of a first-time dad. Upload a photo of him, tell us his greatest hits, and we do the writing and the art. First-time fathers get a comic they will read to the baby; grandfathers get one with all the grandkids in it.
Father's Day is the third Sunday of June. Order the printed book by the end of May; the digital comic is ready the same day.
What you get
- His own action story. Dad vs. the runaway grill. Dad vs. the fishing trip. Dad vs. the toddler who will not nap. You choose.
- Eight art styles. Classic American for the superhero dad, noir for the mysterious one, graphic novel for the reader.
- A real printed comic. His face on the cover, on the shelf next to the trophies.
What a father's day comic looks like
No tie. No mug. A comic book where he saves the day, and the grill.

- Put his real hobby in the plot. Golf, fishing, the garage, the grill: readers recognize it instantly.
- Add the kids as sidekicks. It doubles as a family portrait.
- Use his catchphrase as a speech bubble. Every dad has one.
- First Father's Day? Make the baby the tiny hero he is protecting.

Reviews
From people who gave one.
I got this for my husband for his first Father's Day. The seller took an idea and my feedback and made an amazing gift! So excited to give it to him on Father's Day.
★★★★★ Kayla · First Father's DayI 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 Father's Day comic book: the questions people ask.
What is a good personalized Father's Day gift for a dad who has everything?
A comic book about him. It is the one thing he cannot already own, and it takes ten minutes to start.
Can I make a first Father's Day comic?
Yes, and they are some of our favorites. Cast the baby as the sidekick and the comic becomes a bedtime story for years.
Can it be from the kids?
Yes. Add the kids as characters and let them pick the villain. Their idea of Dad is usually the best story.
Will it look like him?
It is drawn from the photo you upload and stays consistent on every page. Preview it free before you pay.
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.
