Your kid writes it.
We print it.
Kids pick ridiculous words and make story choices to create their own 24-page comic book. Then it arrives in the mail as a real printed comic, with their name on the cover as the author.
How it works
Build a hero
Pick a world, a hero name, a superpower and a secret weakness. Captain Pickle-Toes with laser sneezes? Sure.
Write the story
Fill in silly words and make 3 big story choices that change how the battle ends. Every chapter builds on the last one.
Get a real comic
A grown-up checks every page, then we print it as a full-color comic book and mail it to your door.
Real pages from a sample book
Chapter 1 of Captain Pickle-Toes vs. the Moon Mold, with picks like "spaghetti tacos," "giant sock" and "belly button."
What's inside every book
For grown-ups
Kids choose from approved words. No open typing, no chat, nothing gross.
Kids read their own book again and again, because they wrote it.
About 20 to 30 minutes of creating, then a real book to hold.
Check every page and change any pick before it goes to print.
