What is a Custom Comic Strip?

A custom comic strip is a hand-drawn illustrated story based on your real memories or your own ideas. It can be a short love story, a funny relationship moment, or even a fictional superhero adventure where you and your partner take centre stage.

Unlike a standard gift, a personalized comic strip 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.

Most people come to us looking for a comic strip gift for an anniversary or birthday. They don’t want something generic. They want something that actually feels personal.

A Personalized Comic Strip Love Story

The most requested theme by far is a comic strip love story.

It can tell your whole relationship stor, starting from how you et, to the first "i love you", to perhaps moving in together, first vacation, getting pets, the proposal, the wedding, kids, careers. I can include anything from your love story.

A personalized comic strip works beautifully because it captures you personalities, your mannerisms that photos miss. It shows the humour. The awkwardness. The warmth. The parts that make your relationship yours.

And because it’s short-form, it stays powerful. Focused. Memorable

Not Just Romance — Create Your Own Comic Strip

If romance isn’t your style, you can create your own comic strip in any direction you like.

We regularly design superhero stories where your partner becomes the hero. Fantasy adventures. Light-hearted action stories. Dramatic twists. Even darker themes if that’s your thing.

The key difference is this: even when the story is fictional, the details are real. We weave in personality traits, real-life habits, shared memories and familiar places so the strip still feels deeply personal.

A Comic Strip Gift That Actually Feels Thoughtful

A comic strip gift works because it requires thought. You’ve taken the time to reflect on your story and turn it into something tangible.

It’s ideal for:

Anniversaries
Birthdays
Valentine’s Day
Engagements
Just because

Whether it’s for your boyfriend or husband, your wife or girlfriend, a custom comic strip is one of those gifts people keep. It gets framed. It gets shown to friends. It gets read again years later. PS - parents love custom comic strips too. Perhaps you want a custom comic book though? or perhaps you don't want to create a comic story and prefer a custom comic cover?

Hand Drawn. No AI. Full Likeness.

Every custom comic strip 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. You’ll see a draft before we complete the comic artwork and even when completed you can still make edits. 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.

How Many Panels Do You Need?

Some stories only need three to five panels. A single moment, told well.

Others work better with eight to twelve panels, especially if you’re covering a short timeline or building toward a punchline or romantic ending.

If you’re unsure, don’t guess. Send us your rough idea first. We’ll tell you honestly what length works best before you purchase anything.

Also to note, we can make something to suit any budget, perhaps its your 10 year anniversary but money is tight, no problem, opt for a 3-5 panel comic strip and we will just pick out the highlights.

How the Process Works

You purchase the custom comic strip and send us your story in your own words. Not in comic format. It doesn’t need to be polished, a bullet point list of events is even fine. Just tell us what happened, who it's for and what the occasion is. We ask that you don't send any photos until we ask for them.

We will then ask questions and request photos. We shape the story into a comic format.

You’ll receive a draft version first, where you can request changes. Once approved, we complete the final artwork. Once competed small refinements like text, colour or likeness adjustments can still be made before delivery at no extra charge.

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

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

Ready to Create Your Custom Comic Strip?

If you already know the story you want to tell, start today.

If you’re still figuring it out, send us a message in chat. Most of our best comic strip love stories started with a simple sentence. If you’re still unsure what your story you might choose, you might find inspiration in our guide to comic ideas.

We’ll help you turn it into something that feels real.

How do I get started? What do you need from me?

If you know how much you want to spend then place your order and we will request your comic story ideas. Don’t worry if you don’t have any ideas, we will have plenty for you.

If your budget is flexible, then perhaps place an order for a 10 panel custom comic strip. Let us know you are flexible and we will factor that in when brainstorming the story with you.

Some customers like to chat about the story first, so shoot us a message and let’s chat! We will advise you on how many panels we think you need.

What if I want a different number of panels and print size to what if offered on your website?

You can opt for any number of panels and any size. So send us a message with your request.

Who writes the custom comic strip story, me or you?

We write the custom comic story but we work with you to create it. You might have some basic initial ideas or sometimes no ideas. Whichever it is we ask all the right questions to ensure we create a custom comic strip that you love and which is highly personal to the recipient.

Alternatively you might know exactly what story you want and have the comic story ready - if you do we ask that you are open to us making some suggested edits.

Once we decide what the story is, we will ask you many questions to find out the smaller details, and we will also request photos. It’s a really fun and easy process, even the creatively challenged love it!

How is my custom comic strip created?

Your custom comic strip is drawn by hand, digitally. We first create a rough draft which we share with you, this shows you how we plan to tell your story. We email this to you for feedback where you can request edits.

We then complete the custom comic strip and when complete we again send it to you for feedback. At this later stage it’s usually smaller edits like colors and text.

All people, places and specific objects are drawn from photos that you supply, so everything and everyone looks like they do in real life.

How many photos do I need to supply?

This varies from job to job, we will request all the photos we need, they will be of people, places and specific objects which are relevant to your story.

Can I really make unlimited edits?

Yes you can, but there are some guidelines. When we send you the draft ANY edits can be requested, whole panels can be changed. It’s really easy to make edits at this stage.

Once we complete your custom comic strip you can’t then change whole panels without incurring a fee - but because our process is so thorough this never happens. At this later stage it’s usually things like text, colors and likeness to people.

As long as you follow these guidelines then you can request any amount of edits until you are happy.

How long will my custom comic strip take to create?

This depends on how long your custom comic strip is, for instance a 3 panel comic strip can be completed in 4-6 days, a 10 panel comic strip can be completed in 7-9 days. But this also depends on our work load, remember everything is created from scratch, by hand…there are no robots on our team.

But we do meet 99.9% of deadlines, if you need it quickly, message us and we will see what we can do. A rush fee may apply.

What kind of stories can be turned into a custom comic strip?

Absolutely anything! Our most popular story is how people met and got married, but we can literally write and draw anything. We have created many fictional superhero comics, fantasy comics, even Halloween comics.

How do I print my custom comic strip?

Once complete we will give you a high resolution digital file of your comic. Any local printer can print the artwork using that file. You will get a better result printing with a printer rather than say Walgreens or a grocery store with printing facilities. Shutterfly and Snapfish are good online options. We will help you find a printer.

You must print the artwork at the size we create it at.

If you have any issues with an online printer not accepting the file please get in touch, it won’t be that our file is incorrect, it is just that different printers have different requirements.

Tell me about canvas printing?

We use several different canvas printers from across the globe, each have been selected for their quality. USA, UK, Canada, Europe and Australia are all possible. If you live outside of these areas please get in touch and ask us if we can ship there. Canvas prints take anything from 2-10 days to be delivered, depending on location.

What if I don’t like my custom comic strip?

In all the years we have been in business no one has not liked their comic artwork. Our process is very thorough, we understand and communicate with our customers very well. Every single comic job requires some editing, this is normal, and we will edit it until you are happy. But remember we are comic artist professionals, you are in safe hands, we know what we are doing. Everyone leaves happy!
