How to Capture Your Love Story in a Custom Comic
Let’s face it—finding the perfect gift for your partner year after year can be tough. Whether it’s for an anniversary, birthday, Valentine’s Day, or just because, you want something that’s meaningful, personal, and guaranteed to make them smile. Flowers fade. Socks are… socks. But imagine giving your husband or partner something completely unexpected—a custom comic book starring the two of you.
Yes, really.
At Make Me A Comic, we turn real-life love stories into beautifully hand-drawn comic books, covers, and comic strips. It’s romantic, hilarious, heartfelt—and completely one-of-a-kind. Here's how we help you capture your love story in comic form, and why it might just be the best gift you ever give.
Why Tell Your Love Story in a Comic?
It's Personal. Like, Really Personal.
No two relationships are alike. Maybe you met in high school. Maybe it was a dating app. Maybe you locked eyes over a spilled drink at a karaoke bar. Whatever your story, it’s yours—and that’s what makes it special.
A custom comic brings your unique moments to life. From your first awkward date to that unforgettable holiday, we capture the memories that define your relationship in full-colour panels that look like they came straight out of a graphic novel.
It's Equal Parts Sentimental and Fun
A romantic gift doesn’t have to be overly serious. Comics have a way of blending heartwarming with hilarious. You can recreate your proposal, your wedding day, or even the time he locked himself out in his dressing gown (yes, we’ve drawn that before).
It’s your story—you decide how heartfelt, heroic, or humorous you want it to be.
It Becomes a Forever Keepsake
This isn’t something that gets thrown in a drawer or re-gifted. It’s art. It's your story. And it’s something they’ll want to show off again and again.
The Make Me A Comic Process (It's Easier Than You Think)
If you're already thinking "Okay, but I have zero artistic skills and no clue where to start", don't worry. You don’t have to be a writer or an artist—we do all the heavy lifting. All we need is your story, and we’ll help you tell it beautifully.
Step 1: Place Your Order
Start by choosing the format that suits your story and budget best, either a custom comic strip which is a 1 pager, or a custom comic book which starts from 8 pages. if you aren't sure just get in touch and have a chat with us. Once decided, place your order.
We’ll then email you requesting some info, we will ask some questions, once we have the storyline roughly down we will ask detailed questions and request photos. You needn't worry if you don't have photos of specific events or items or places, we can look online and w can take some artistic license and make it up from your description. It's actually a really fun process to take a trip down memory lane remembering all your favorite moments together.
Step 2: We Get to Work Drawing
After we’ve got everything we need, the magic begins.
Our professional illustrators (yep, real comic book pros) start hand-drawing your comic. Every person, place, and detail is carefully crafted to match your real life. The characters even look like you—it’s not just some generic cartoon couple.
We will send you a rough draft of the artwork and request your feedback, at this stage ANY edits can be made. Then we apply your feedback and complete the cmic. Even when the artwork is complete you can request edits, just colours, text and likeness to characters. No stress, no pressure, and no “that doesn’t even look like me” moments. The comic is complete when you say it is.
Step 3: You Approve It & We Deliver
Once you're happy, you’ll receive a high-resolution digital file of your comic to your email. You can choose to print it locally, we will help you find a printer.
We have turned thousands of couple's love stories into comic strips and comic books.
We honestly LOVE creating them.
Real Moments, Real Emotions (and a Bit of Laughter)
You’d be surprised how emotional people get when they see their story in comic form. Whether it’s the goofy way you met or the story of how you made it through tough times together, it’s all part of what makes your relationship real.
We’ve turned airport proposals, long-distance love stories, and even childhood sweethearts into custom comics. One customer recreated her partner’s favourite sci-fi movie plot—with them as the lead characters. Another turned their wedding speech into a comic book tribute.
The only limit is your imagination.
