Your child, the superhero of the story.
A real comic book where your kid saves the day: their face on the cover, their name in the title, their pet as the sidekick. Drawn from a photo and printed to keep.
Personalized superhero comic book for kids
The birthday gift they ask to read again
Kids already know they are superheroes. This is the proof. You upload a photo, tell us what they love, and we write and draw a ten-page comic where they are the hero: flying over their own street, rescuing their own cat, outsmarting a villain made of broccoli.
Parents make these for fifth and sixth birthdays, for a new big brother or sister, and for kids who need to see themselves as brave. Siblings, friends and pets can join as sidekicks. You see the cover free in about a minute.
Order the printed book about three weeks before the birthday, or pick faster delivery at checkout. The digital comic is ready the same day.
What you get
- Their real face, their real name. One clear photo makes them the hero on every page, with their name on the cover.
- Siblings and pets as sidekicks. Add up to four characters, each from a photo. The family dog makes an excellent sidekick.
- A real printed comic. Glossy cover, full-color pages, a dedication from you inside. Free US shipping.
What a kid superhero comic looks like
Toys get outgrown by spring. A comic with their own face in it becomes the bedtime book for years.
Sample page← ten pages like this, with their faces in every panel
Printed & shipped free← glossy cover, dedication page inside, about three weeks to your door (faster delivery available)
Story ideas
Steal one of these, or tell us yours.
A five-year-old hero, his big sister and a mysterious black cat save the galaxy before bedtime.
The birthday quest: four cities, one magic tennis racket, and a cake at the end.
Captain Kindness: a hero whose power is helping, with the family dog as her deputy.
The Sparkle Stone: a trip through space with the cat and the dog to find a rock that glows.
What to put in it
Four things that make a kid superhero comic land.
- Put in the things they are obsessed with this month. Dinosaurs, tennis, toy cars, a favorite stuffed animal.
- Give a sibling a real job in the story so nobody feels left out.
- Keep the villain silly. Broccoli, bath time, a grumpy cloud.
- Use their real street or school. Kids love spotting places they know.
How it works
Three steps to their kid superhero comic.
Upload their photos
One or two clear shots per person. They become the characters and stay recognizable on every page.
Tell us the story
Their age, what they love right now, their siblings or pets, and a silly villain. A sentence is enough; we write the script.
Preview free, then print
Read the first pages in minutes. Unlock the rest, redraw anything, and order it printed with a dedication.
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 superhero comic book for kids: the questions people ask.
What age is a superhero comic for?
Parents order them for children from about three to twelve. You choose the tone, so it can be gentle for a small child or full of action for an older one.
Can brothers, sisters and pets be in it?
Yes. Up to four characters, each drawn from one photo. Pets work especially well.
Does it work as a birthday gift?
It is the most common reason parents order one. Order the printed copy about three weeks ahead, or give the digital comic on the day and let the book follow.
How much does a kids superhero comic cost?
The Keepsake, which is the comic plus the printed book with free US shipping, is $39.99. The comic on its own is $19.99. The cover preview is free.
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.
