7 Comic Styles to Choose From
Two great comic traditions, one hero: your child. Manga styles offer black & white screentone and right-to-left reading; western styles bring classic comic book energy.
Manga Styles
Shonen Adventure
Dynamic action lines, bold inking, energetic poses — classic adventure manga.
Shojo Dream
Soft linework, sparkles and flower motifs, expressive large eyes.
Chibi Fun
Super-deformed cute proportions, playful and comedic.
Kodomo Classic
Simple rounded shapes and clear staging, made for young readers.
Comic Book Styles
Superhero Action
Bold American comic book style — dramatic angles, heroic poses, halftone energy.
Cartoon Strip
Thick friendly outlines and bright flat colors, Saturday-morning cartoon fun.
European Adventure
Clean-line bande dessinée style — detailed backgrounds, warm storybook color.
Made Like a Real Comic
Authentic Right-to-Left
Manga styles can read right-to-left, just like books from Japan, or left-to-right if you prefer.
Black & White Screentone
Go full color, or choose classic black & white with authentic manga screentone shading.
11 Languages
Speech balloons and narration in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish. More languages are coming for comics.

Comic Book Questions
What is the difference between a comic and a storybook?
Our storybooks pair one illustration with story text on each page. A comic is a different product: every page is a full multi-panel page with speech balloons, narration boxes and sound effects drawn into the artwork, like a real manga or comic book.
How much does a personalized comic cost?
A personalized comic is a digital PDF: $4.99 for 16 pages. In lower-income countries an 8-page comic is $1.99. You only pay after seeing your free preview.
A printed A5 comic, with the digital PDF included, is $18.89 for 16 pages, plus shipping.
Can I get my comic printed?
Yes. You can order a printed A5 comic with the digital PDF included, from $18.89 for 16 pages plus shipping. If you would rather print it locally, add the print-ready file for $0.99 and take it to a print shop.
Who can star in the comic, and how long does it take?
Up to 4 people from your photo can star in it, so kids, parents and grandparents can all be characters. Your free preview is ready in minutes, and once you order, your comic PDF is emailed to you within 2 hours.
