A gift for the grandkids
A Custom Comic Book Starring Your Grandkids
Turn one photo into a 16–20 page superhero comic where your grandkid is the hero on every page. Made from home, in your browser, no app to install.
Your first comic is free to preview. No card needed. Read the first pages before you buy.
Better than another gift card
When the grandkids live three states away, a gift card can feel like a shrug. A comic where they're the hero is something they open, read, and hand to everyone in the room.
It's also simple. The face scan talks you through each angle out loud. No settings to figure out, no call to your daughter for help.
And it looks like them. The 5-angle face scan keeps the same face on page 2 and page 17, so they see themselves, not a cartoon stranger.
How it works in 4 steps
Describe your grandkid
Their name, their superpower, their favorite animal, the dog's name. The details you type show up in the story.
Scan their face or add a photo
Do the guided 5-angle scan on your next visit, or start from a photo their parents send you. Spoken directions walk you through it.
Pick their hero look
Choose from several hero designs. Not quite right? Redo it with notes.
Read it, then order a print
Read the full comic in a page-turn reader. Want a book they can hold? Order a printed copy shipped to their door.
What you get
Your first comic, free to preview
The cover and first 4 pages of a 16–20 page comic, with speech bubbles. Drawn free, with a watermark.
More comics with credit packs
The rest of your first comic, and every comic after it, is made with credits, and you see the price before you pay. The optional Pass removes the watermark from every comic.
Printed comic books, $24.99–$39.99
Four editions, from Newsstand to Graphic Novel Matte. Printed by Lulu at true comic size, 6.625″ × 10.25″, and shipped to your door.
Free extras
Hero trading cards, a GIF and meme maker, and coloring-book mode that turns your story into line art.
Your free preview has a watermark. Finish it with credits and the whole comic comes back without it, or get the optional Pass. Prints are ordered separately.
Questions
Can I put two grandkids in one comic?
Yes. Group photos support up to 3 people, so siblings can team up. Add pets separately in the pet slot.
Do I need to install an app?
No. The web app runs in your browser with guest checkout, nothing to install. There's also an iOS app if you'd rather use your phone.
Is it really free to try?
Yes. No card needed. The cover and first 4 pages of your first comic are free to read, with a watermark. Credit packs draw the rest of the story, and the finished comic comes back without the watermark. Comics after it are made with credits too, and the optional Pass removes the watermark from every comic.
Can I get it printed?
Yes. Printed comic books come in four editions from $24.99 to $39.99, printed by Lulu at true comic size (6.625″ × 10.25″) and shipped to your door. We don't promise ship dates, so if it's for Christmas, order early.
What happens to the photos?
Your photos are used to draw your comic. You can delete them from your library anytime.
