Personalized comic book for kids
The gift every kid dreams of
Kids read a comic with their own face on the cover a hundred times. A custom kids' comic makes your child the hero: powers, a costume, a best friend or a pet as the sidekick, and a world to save. Their real face, drawn in a friendly style, with their name in the title.
It is a birthday gift, a Christmas gift, a first-day-of-school gift, or the thing that finally gets a reluctant reader reading. Stories are written for the age you tell us. Manga for anime fans, classic American for superhero fans, watercolor for the little ones.
Digital comic in minutes; printed book in about three weeks with free standard shipping (faster delivery available). Order early for birthdays and Christmas.

Story ideas
Steal one of these, or tell us yours.
On the first day of school they find a secret door to a world where kids are the only heroes.
The family dog gains superpowers and together they save the neighborhood from a silly villain.
A kid-sized superhero protects the playground with creativity, courage, and a little magic.
They find a treasure map in the attic and go on a pirate adventure with their siblings and best friends.
What to put in it
Four things that make a for kids comic land.
- Let them choose the superpower and the villain. Type in exactly what they say.
- Add the best friend or the sibling. Sharing the cover avoids arguments.
- Use their favorite place: the playground, the beach, Grandma's house.
- For reluctant readers, keep the dialogue short and the action big.

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 kids: the questions people ask.
What age is a personalized comic book good for?
From about three, as a book read to them, through the teens as a book they read themselves. Tell us the age and the story is written for it.
Is the story appropriate for young children?
Yes. Stories are written for the age you give and kept kind and silly. You preview every page before you buy.
Can siblings share a comic?
Yes. Add each child with a photo and both get to be heroes. Extra printed copies are $19.99 so each kid gets one.
Does it help with reading?
Comics with the child as the hero are one of the best hooks for reluctant readers. Short bubbles, big pictures, and their own name on the page.
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.
