Before and after: a photograph of a dad alongside the same moment redrawn as comic-book art.
Father's Day

Personalized Father's Day Gifts

A Father's Day gift he cannot put in a drawer: your own photos of him, redrawn as comic-book art and printed as a real comic with his name on the cover. Choose the art style, write the captions, and approve a full proof before anything goes to print.

Every comic here is made the same way, so pick the one that fits the story you want to tell. If none of them quite does, the full range of personalized comics covers every other occasion too.

Why a comic works as a Father's Day gift

Most Father's Day presents solve the problem of having to buy something. This one solves the problem of having something to say. The photos are already on your phone -- the two of you on a beach in 2019, him asleep on the sofa with the baby, the terrible haircut nobody mentions any more. Printed as a comic, with your captions, they stop being camera roll and start being a story he can hand to someone.

It also survives the week after. A card gets recycled and a bottle gets drunk. A comic with his name on the cover tends to end up on a shelf, and it is the only gift on this list he cannot buy himself.

What you need before you start

Less than people expect. Nineteen photos for a Standard comic, thirty-eight for Extended or Hardback, and they do not need to be good photos -- phone pictures are what nearly everyone uses and they print well. If one is too blurry or too dark to print, we tell you before it goes to press rather than after.

  • Photos of Dad, from any year and any camera
  • A name and a headline for the cover
  • Roughly ten minutes, and you can stop halfway and finish later

Leave time for the proof

Nothing is printed until you have seen every page and approved it, which is the part worth planning around. The delivery estimate on each product page is live and based on where you are, but it assumes you personalise the comic promptly after ordering -- we cannot start printing until you have. If Father's Day is close, order early and personalise the same day.

Which edition to pick

Standard is the one most people choose and it holds up fine. Extended doubles the photo count if you are covering more than one era. Hardback is the one to pick if it is going on a shelf rather than in a drawer, and it is the edition people tend to regret not choosing.

Not sure this is the right occasion? The same comic works for an anniversary, a birthday or Christmas -- see the full range of personalized comics.

The things people ask first

Will it arrive in time for Father's Day?

The delivery estimate on each product page is live and based on your country. It assumes you personalise your comic promptly after ordering, because we cannot print it until you have. If Father's Day is within a fortnight, order and personalise on the same day.

Do I need good photos of my dad?

You need photos you like, not photos a photographer would like. Phone pictures are what nearly everyone uses and they print well. Old scanned ones work too. If a photo is too blurry or too dark to print, we flag it before printing rather than after.

How many photos does it take?

Nineteen for a Standard comic, thirty-eight for Extended and Hardback. If you are covering several decades, Extended is usually the better fit.

Can I write the captions myself?

Yes, and this is the part people say makes it. Every photo carries your own caption, and you can add speech bubbles and stickers on top. The in-jokes are what make it his rather than generic.

What if it does not look right?

You see a full proof of every page before anything is printed, and you can change photos, captions and the art style at that point. Nothing goes to print until you approve it.

Is this suitable for a first Father's Day?

Yes -- there is a comic made specifically for it in this collection, built around a first year rather than a lifetime, so a small number of recent photos is enough.
