Upload a clear photo of yourself (or whoever the comic is for), tell us what you want the comic to be about, and we take care of the rest. You'll get a fully illustrated, personalized comic book featuring you as the main character, printed and delivered as a premium hardcover.

A personalized search-and-find book is a beautifully illustrated activity book where you, or whoever you're gifting it to, appears as a hidden character on every page. Each spread is packed with hundreds of illustrated figures, and somewhere in that crowd is you. The challenge is finding yourself before anyone else does. Each book features multiple richly illustrated double-page scenes with plenty of hiding spots to keep even the sharpest eyes busy. You can also add a personalized message to include in the printed book.

Character creation lets you build the illustrated characters who star in your book, from an idea, a photo, or both. Upload a photo of a child, parent, pet, or toy and Story Spark turns it into a unique illustrated character, or describe a character and let us generate one. Characters are saved to your profile, so you can reuse them across multiple books.
