Cover of the Two Magical Years personalised second anniversary comic.
Second Anniversary

Cotton Anniversary Gifts

The second anniversary is cotton, which is a hard brief until you stop shopping for fabric and start with the year you have just had. Your photos, redrawn as comic-book art and printed as a comic with both your names on the cover.

Marking the first instead? Paper is covered too, in the anniversary gifts collection.

Cotton, without shopping for fabric

The second anniversary is cotton, and taken literally that gets you towels. Taken as a nudge rather than an instruction, it gets you something better: two years is now enough material for an actual story, which the first anniversary only just manages.

Year one is mostly firsts. Year two is where the in-jokes calcify, the routines appear, and the photographs stop being posed. That is the year worth printing.

What you need

Nineteen photos for a Standard comic, thirty-eight for Extended or Hardback. Two years usually fills nineteen without effort. Phone photos print well, and if one will not we flag it before press.

  • Photos from both years
  • Both names and a headline for the cover
  • About ten minutes

Leave time for the proof

Nothing prints until you have approved every page. The delivery estimate on each product page is live and based on your country, and it assumes you personalise promptly after ordering.

A different year?

Paper, and every year after cotton, is covered in the anniversary gifts collection.

How It Works

The things people ask first

Is a comic book a cotton anniversary gift?

Not literally -- it is printed paper and card. The traditional list is a prompt rather than a rule, and most people would rather receive two years of their own story than a cotton item bought to satisfy a category.

How many photos do I need?

Nineteen for a Standard comic. Two years together usually covers that without much digging.

Can both names go on the cover?

Yes, along with your own headline.

What if some photos are poor quality?

If a photo is too blurry or too dark to print, we tell you before it goes to press rather than after.

Can I change it after ordering?

You see a full proof of every page first, and photos, captions and art style can all change at that point. Nothing prints until you approve it.
