Turn Dad into the superhero he already is.
A real comic book where Dad is the hero: his face on the cover, the kids as sidekicks, the family jokes as the plot. Drawn from your photos and printed to keep.
Superhero dad comic book
A gift for Dad he will actually keep
Every family already has the material. The backpack he drops at the door, the grill he guards, the way he fixes everything with the same three tools. We turn it into a ten-page superhero comic where Dad is the lead, drawn from a photo of him so it is unmistakably him on every page.
It is the comic our customers make most: Super Dad, Big Daddy, the world's okayest superhero. The kids can be the sidekicks, the dog can be the getaway driver, and the villain can be the lawn mower that never starts. You see the cover free in about a minute.
Digital comic the same day, so a last-minute gift still works. Printed book at your door in about three weeks with free standard shipping, or about a week and a half with the fastest option.
What you get
- His real face, as a hero. Upload one clear photo. He becomes the character on every page, in any of eight art styles.
- The kids as sidekicks. Add up to four characters: the children, a partner, even the dog. Each one from a photo.
- Printed, with a dedication. A glossy, saddle-stitched comic with your message inside the cover. Free US shipping.
What a superhero dad comic looks like
Socks wear out and mugs get lost. A comic book where he saves the day stays on the shelf, and gets read to the kids again.

Story ideas
Steal one of these, or tell us yours.
Super Dad: he drops his work backpack at the door and transforms into the greatest hero the living room has ever seen.
The World's Okayest Superhero: powers include finding lost shoes, grilling in the rain and never needing directions.
Dad and the kids versus the Lawn Mower of Doom, a three-generation grudge match.
An origin story: how an ordinary guy became a father and discovered he could function on four hours of sleep.
What to put in it
Four things that make a superhero dad comic land.
- Use a real catchphrase. The thing he says on every single car ride belongs in a speech bubble.
- Make the kids the sidekicks, by name. They will ask to read it every night.
- Pick a villain from real life: the printer, the group chat, the neighbor's leaf blower.
- Put his actual hobby on the cover. The grill, the guitar, the fishing rod, the golf bag.

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!!

Superhero dad comic book: the questions people ask.
Can the kids be in the comic too?
Yes. Add up to four characters, each from one photo. Children as sidekicks is the most popular version.
Does it have to be a superhero story?
No. Superhero is the favorite, but the same comic can be a detective story, a space adventure or a comedy. You choose the tone and the art style.
Is it a good Father's Day or birthday gift?
Both. 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 superhero dad 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.
