Turn someone you love into a comic character on their very own custom comic book cover

What is a Custom Comic Cover?

A custom comic cover is a hand-drawn illustrated comic cover which includes the recipient, and perhaps yourself and pets as comic characters. We can base these characters on famous characters from comics, TV or film. Or, we can create them from scratch, taking inspiration from the people’s likes, passions, skills and job. 

Superheroes are by far the most popular choice, we also draw a lot of villains. But we have also drawn characters from movies, anime, manga. There’s no limits as to what we can and will draw. Perfect to frame and hang up at home. 

Unlike a standard gift, a personalized comic cover is built around your details — your faces, your expressions, your inside jokes, your shared history. It isn’t templated. It isn’t AI-generated. It’s drawn from scratch. We ask MANY questions to ensure the final result is highly personable to you. 

Most people come to us looking for a comic cover gift for an anniversary or birthday. They don’t want something generic. They want something that actually feels personal and extra special. Our custom comic covers are once-in-a-lifetime gifts. Loved by everyone, not just those who love comics. 

A Personalized Superhero Comic Cover

The most requested characters by far are superheroes. 

Many comic fans have favourite heroes and villains, we have created so many Batmans I have lost count. Spiderman and Hulk are also firm favorites. But we love creating comic characters from scratch. This is where our creative expertise really comes to life. Remember we are comic fans ourselves, so character design is one of our favorite things to do. 

Not Just Superheroes — Create Your Own Comic Cover

If superheroes aren’t your style, you can create your own comic cover in any direction you like. And your characters needn’t be the good guys, we love drawing super-villains also. But perhaps the recipient isn’t into the likes of Marvel and DC at all, perhaps we instead take inspiration from TV, film, music, cartoons. We can weave several characters together, we can take a character they created as a kid and turn them into that. Perhaps they work in IT and are a tech genius, well we could turn them into some sort of AI robot. Perhaps this is for your sister who is a really great hairdresser. We might turn her into some sort of hero with a giant hairdryer as her secret weapon. We can get as crazy and silly as you like. There are no limits to the ideas or our imaginations, this truly is the ultimate gift for any comic or movie fan.

Hand Drawn. No AI. Full Likeness.

Every custom comic cover is fully hand drawn by a professional illustrator. We don’t use AI or automation.

We work from your photos to capture real likeness — faces, hair, expressions, body language, even personal items that matter to you. When the comic art is finished when you say so, edits are unlimited. We promise that because we know we are good. The result is artwork that actually looks like you, not a generic template.

This is why our prices are higher than other custom comic companies. We don’t just regurgitate the information you share with us, we don't just trace photos, instead we get creative with your ideas and turn them into a compelling and engaging comic masterpiece. 

Everyone on our team is a comic artist professional, this is all we do, day in and day out. But most important of all, we sincerely love it. Please feel free to learn more about us. 

How Much Will it Cost?

The price is determined on the number of comic characters and the print size. Most comic covers have 1 or 2 characters on, and the smallest print size is 8”x10”. But we have cerated comic covers with 10 characters on and drawn it quite big, around 20”x30”. You won’t see this size offered on our website, we just show the more popular choices. 

If you have questions about the cost and want to chat about your comic cover ideas, please do reach out. I, Aura Gold, personally answer all the inquiries. I love chatting to potential customers about their ideas. 

How the Process Works

Many jobs start with a conversation. This is where you understand what your custom comic cover might look like and the cost. You will then purchase the custom comic cover and we will email you asking for more information. We will ask questions and request photos, the process is pretty thorough. 

Once we have everything I will personally design your custom comic cover and then one of the artists on my team will draw it. Once complete you can request edits, things like text, colours and likeness to characters. 

This process works really well. It’s easy and smooth and most of all fun. You don’t need to worry about forgetting things, or not liking the final artwork. We are so thorough and we have been doing this for so long, that every single custom comic cover we create is easy for every single customer. We edit until you are happy, but I have to say we have NEVER been in a position whereby we are editing and editing, over and over. 

When finished, we email you high-resolution artwork ready to print locally. We will help you find a printer. 

If you need your comic cover urgently, contact us first and we’ll let you know if your deadline is possible.
