Questions people ask

Upload a clear photo of the person who becomes the hero and answer a few fun questions about them: their job, hobbies, a catchphrase, a funny habit. We write three story ideas from your answers, you pick one, and we draw the cover and the first page so you can see it for free. If you like it, pick the Deluxe or Standard Edition and order it, with bookmarks and the digital copy as optional extras. We draw the rest of the comic right after you order, and then we print it.

A printed A4 comic: the Deluxe Edition (32 pages) is $59.90 and the Standard Edition (20 pages) is $39.90. Every extra copy is $30.00. Standard shipping is free, expedited shipping is $15.00. Optional extras: personalized bookmarks at $10.00 each and the digital copy (a PDF of the whole comic) for $7.99. You see the total before you pay.

We draw the rest of your comic right after you order, in about 15 to 25 minutes, and you read it online. Then it goes to print: printing takes 3 to 10 working days, plus shipping to your country. Standard shipping is free; expedited shipping gets it to you sooner.

Both editions are A4 portrait (8.3 x 11.7 in). The Deluxe Edition has 32 printed pages, with 26 full comic pages. The Standard Edition has 20 printed pages, stapled, with 16 full comic pages. Every comic page has 3 to 5 panels. The digital copy has the same comic pages.

Yes, part of it. Once you pick a story idea, we draw the cover and the first page, free. You only pay if you want the whole comic in print, from $39.90 with free standard shipping.

Yes, it is made for grown-ups, with grown-up humor and jokes that can tease. But nothing goes beyond PG-13: no nudity or sex, no gore, no slurs. Cartoon action and slapstick are fine, and nobody gets seriously hurt. We also do not draw real celebrities, politicians or brands.

Yes. Tell us about both of you in your answers, how you met, the running jokes, the trip that went wrong, and the story ideas we write will be about the two of you. Start from a story idea like How We Met if you want it to lean romantic.

Please do. Put them in your answers, together with nicknames, how you met or a real event. The questions about the hero (their catchphrase, a funny habit, a favorite place) give the story even more to work with, and the three story ideas are written around all of it.

That is what the free preview is for. If the face on the cover or the first page is not right, draw the cover again or try a clearer photo before you order. The rest of the comic is drawn the same way and goes to print as soon as it is finished.

A bright, sharp photo where only that person is in the picture and their face is clearly visible, ideally with some of their body too. No sunglasses, hats pulled low or heavy filters.

Yes. Mention them in your answers (who they are and what they are like) and the story ideas can give them a part. The hero, drawn from your photo, is the star on every page.

The speech balloons, captions and sound effects can be lettered in English (American or British), Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish or Swedish.

A greeting card (from $1.89), a coloring book ($9.95) and a birthday calendar ($11.95), all made from your comic's pictures and 20% off when a printed comic is in the same order. You can also start a sequel with the same characters, and copy or translate a comic for free.

We start drawing your comic as soon as you pay, so an order cannot be cancelled or changed on the site after that. If you made a mistake, write to hello@personalisedcomicbook.com right away and we will do what we can.

Every comic is made for the one person in it, so there is no right of return once we have started making it (our terms explain the details). If a printed comic arrives faulty or damaged, send a photo to hello@personalisedcomicbook.com and we reprint it or refund you. If your comic is not drawn within a reasonable time, we make it again or refund your payment.

Of course. Email hello@personalisedcomicbook.com and a real person answers, whether a photo did not work or a parcel is taking its time.

No. Your comic is made as a personal gift and for fun: to give, to laugh at and to keep on the shelf, not for resale or advertising. The story is fiction, so it is not a source of facts about anyone either.

We use them only to draw your comic. To draw the pictures they are processed by AI services that are not allowed to use them to train AI models or keep them for their own purposes. They are stored securely, never sold, and you can ask us to delete them at any time.
