SEE IT FROM THE INSIDE
Everyone will be reading it out loud before the wrapping paper is off the floor. Twenty pages or more, and their face is on every one of them. Real panels, real dialogue, the story you wrote — printed on premium paper and bound like a proper comic book. It gets passed around the table on Christmas Day; it does not go back in the box.
A personalized Christmas comic book turns a photo of the person you are gifting into a printed comic where they are the main character. On myComics you upload one clear photo, choose from 16 art styles, describe the story you want told, and read the finished comic online the same day. Printed A5 copies start at $9.90 with free worldwide shipping, and printing takes 7–10 days from order confirmation — so ordering by December 10th keeps the book under the tree.
Most Christmas gifts are guessable, and the good ones get duplicated by someone else in the family. A comic book cannot be either: the recipient is drawn from their own photo, the story is one only you could have written, and there is no second copy of it anywhere. It is the rare present still out on a shelf in February instead of in a drawer by Boxing Day — which is also why it works for the person who says they want nothing.
There is no deadline at all for the digital comic: it is readable online within minutes of finishing it, so you can create one on Christmas Eve and still give it on the day. For print, allow 7–10 days of production plus delivery, both shown at checkout before you pay. December 10th is the safe cut-off for printed copies; if you miss it, give the digital version on the day and let the printed comic arrive in January.
The comics that land hardest are specific. The year you have just had together, the trip you keep retelling, the running family joke, a first Christmas as parents, the grandparent who gets the whole family drawn into one panel. Skip the generic season's-greetings framing and write the moment they will recognise from the first page. You can read the whole comic and edit any panel before you pay for anything, so there is no risk in trying the idea first.
FAQ
Printing takes 7–10 days from order confirmation, plus delivery time — both are shown at checkout before you pay. Order printed copies by December 10th to be sure they arrive before Christmas. If you miss that window, give the digital comic on the day and let the printed copy arrive in January.
It works because it cannot be bought anywhere else — the recipient is the main character, drawn from their own photos. It lands best when there is a specific story to tell rather than as a generic gesture.
One clear photo of each person is enough. A well-lit shot where the face is fully visible works best.
Yes. You can start free and create the whole comic before spending anything, so you know exactly what you are giving.
You can edit it. Change the story, redo panels, adjust dialogue and regenerate artwork until it is right, before you order any print.
Printed comics start from $9.90, A5 format, from 20 pages on premium paper, with free worldwide shipping. A digital copy is included with every order.
Yes. Each person gets their own character built from their own photos, so a whole family can appear in the same panels.
If the printing itself comes out faulty we reprint it. We cannot reprint for story or artwork you are unhappy with — which is exactly why the whole comic is readable and editable before you order.
