Personalized comic book for dad
The gift Dad did not know he needed
The dad who says he does not want anything has never been handed a comic book with his face on the cover. A custom comic for Dad takes his greatest hits, the fishing trip, the garage project, the grill that would not light, and draws them as the action movie he always narrated them as.
Upload a photo, pick classic American for the superhero look or noir if he thinks he is mysterious, and tell us the stories. Kids can be the sidekicks. The printed book goes on the shelf next to the trophies, which is exactly where he will put it.
Digital comic in minutes; printed book in about three weeks with free standard shipping (faster delivery available). No occasion required.
What you get

Reviews
From people who gave one.
I 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!!

Personalized comic book for dad: the questions people ask.
What is a good personalized gift for a dad who has everything?
A comic book about him. He cannot buy it, nobody else will give it, and it takes ten minutes to start.
Can I make one for a stepdad or grandfather?
Yes. Any dad figure. Grandfathers get the grandkids as the supporting cast.
Which style do dads like?
Classic American and graphic novel are the most ordered for dads. Noir wins for the dad who reads detective novels.
How do I keep it a surprise?
Comics are private unless you share the link. Make it, print it, and hand it over.
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.
