Personalized comic book for mom
Why Mom deserves her own comic book
Every mom has a story her kids tell at dinner: the time she drove through a blizzard for a science fair, the meal she saved with three ingredients, the way she can find anything in the house. A custom comic book for Mom puts that story in panels, with her real face on the cover.
It works for any occasion or none. Kids make them for birthdays, adult children make them for Mother's Day, partners make them because it is Tuesday. Watercolor is the favorite style for moms; retro pop if she has a sense of humor about being the boss.
Digital comic in minutes; printed book in about three weeks with free standard shipping (faster delivery available). No occasion required.
What you get
- She is the real hero. Cape, powers, and a city to save. Or a normal Tuesday drawn as the epic it is.
- Her face, her story. Upload a photo and she becomes the character, in any of eight art styles.
- A gift she will keep. A printed comic book. Not another mug. Not another candle. A story about her.
What a for mom comic looks like
Forget flowers and candles. Give her a story where she saves the day.

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 mom: the questions people ask.
What is a unique gift for a mom who has everything?
A comic book about her. It is the one thing she cannot already have, and it is made from the stories only her family knows.
Can it be from young kids?
Yes. Kids dictate the plot, a grown-up types it in, and the kids appear as the sidekicks.
Which art style suits a comic for Mom?
Watercolor is the most popular. Retro pop and classic American are great for funny stories.
Can I include a photo of her as a young woman?
Yes. Upload the photo you want her drawn from; a throwback photo makes a great origin-story comic.
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.
