I love creating a comic book with friends and family.

Make the people you love the heroes of a one-of-a-kind comic adventure.

Choose the comic look that brings your story and its characters to life.

Build a story that feels personal, exciting, and unmistakably yours.

“I turned an inside joke with my best friend into a full comic book. Choosing our characters and seeing us in the story made it feel genuinely personal.”
“I made this for my brother’s birthday and gave him the starring role. The art style and preview made the finished comic feel completely made for him.”
“I made one for my partner’s birthday, built around our first holiday together. Seeing our memories come to life as a comic was even better than I imagined.”
“We started with an idea about our family dog saving the day and ended up with a real comic adventure. The kids have already asked for a sequel.”
Choose your characters, including ones you've created yourself, tell us your storyline, and Story Spark turns it into a fully illustrated, personalized comic book. Printed and delivered as a premium hardcover.
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.

Story Spark offers 4 styles: American Classic, European Clear Line, Noir, and Modern Comics. So you can match the style to your storyline.
