Personalized comic book for a best friend

The gift they will never stop talking about

Best friends deserve more than a gift card. A custom best-friend comic takes the group chat and prints it: the road trip that went wrong, the useless superpower they definitely have, the nickname nobody outside the group understands. Their face on the cover, yours in the panels.

It works for birthdays, going-away parties, bachelor and bachelorette weekends, or the friend who moved across the country. Cast the whole group and everyone will want a copy; extra printed copies are $19.99.

Any occasion

Digital comic in minutes; printed book in about three weeks with free standard shipping (faster delivery available).

What you get

  • Inside jokes included. Work in your shared memories, nicknames, and the things only you two laugh about.
  • Comedy or action. Make it hilarious, make it epic, or make it both. You know what they would love.
  • Their face, their story. Upload their photo and they become a comic version of themselves.

Story ideas

Steal one of these, or tell us yours.

Our friend group accidentally enters a cooking competition and chaos ensues, featuring everyone's real personalities.
My best friend discovers they have the world's most useless superpower and has to save the day anyway.
A road trip gone wrong: the GPS sends us to a town that does not exist on any map.
My friend becomes the unlikely hero of the office when a villain takes over the company.

What to put in it

Four things that make a for a friend comic land.

  • Start from the story you retell most. It is already a comic.
  • Give everyone in the group a cameo, even the one who never shows up.
  • The nickname goes on the cover. That is the title.
  • Retro pop and classic American are the funniest styles.

This was such a fun experience making a comic book for our daughter and her best friend! Great communication and he changed everything I asked, even when I asked for a thousand changes! I'll be doing this again!

★★★★★ Jenny · Daughter and best friend

Repeat buyer. I had a comic made for my girlfriend and her boyfriend of a King and Queen Warrior and it turned out awesome! You won't be disappointed.

★★★★★ Cynthia · Couple

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!!

Questions

Personalized comic book for a best friend: the questions people ask.

What is a good personalized gift for a best friend?

A comic book with them as the hero and your inside jokes in the bubbles. Nobody else can give it.

Can the whole friend group be characters?

Yes. Add each friend with a photo. Group comics are some of the most-shared on the site.

Can I make it for a bachelor or bachelorette party?

Yes. The weekend as a heist comic, with the bride or groom as the mastermind, is a favorite.

Is it good for a long-distance friend?

Yes. Share the digital comic instantly and mail the printed one; it ships free worldwide.

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.
