Add a photo of the graduate (and anyone else in the story). We turn them into comic characters that actually look like them.
Pick manga, anime, cartoon, 3D, superhero and more, then describe the story: the exam that nearly broke them, the thesis all-nighters, the day on the stage.
See your comic straight away online, edit anything you want, then download the PDF or order a printed copy delivered to their door.
SEE IT FROM THE INSIDE
The one gift that gets opened at the table and then passed around the whole family. Twenty pages or more, and they are on every one. Real panels, real dialogue, their story — the first day, the exam nobody thought they would pass, the cap in the air — printed on premium paper and bound like a proper comic book. It ends up on the shelf next to the diploma, not in a drawer with the cards.
A graduation comic book turns a photo of the graduate into a printed comic that tells their story — the first day, the years in between, the day they walked the stage. On myComics you upload one clear photo, choose an art style, describe the scenes, and read the finished comic online the same day. It works for a high-school or university graduation, for a PhD, and as a group gift from a whole class, and printed A5 copies start at $9.99 with free worldwide shipping.
Most graduation presents are either useful or ceremonial: a watch, an envelope, a frame for the photo everyone already has. None of them say anything about the years being celebrated. A comic book does the opposite — it is entirely about what happened, with the graduate as the hero of it, and it is the only gift in the room that cannot be bought twice.
Three beats usually carry it: the start, the point where it nearly went wrong, and the stage. If you know the graduate well, add the detail only their year would recognise — the professor everyone feared, the 4am library shift, the flatmates, the thesis title. Friends, family and classmates can all be drawn in from their own photos.
Printing takes 7–10 days from order confirmation, plus delivery, both shown at checkout before you pay — so for a printed copy on the day, order about three weeks ahead. If the ceremony is this week, the digital comic is ready in minutes: send the link on the morning, and let the printed copy arrive afterwards as a second gift.
FAQ
A ceremony date does not move, so treat printing as the constraint. Printing takes 7–10 days from order confirmation, plus delivery, so order at least three weeks ahead — that leaves room for a reprint and still arrives in time.
Yes. Additional people get their own characters generated from their own photos and appear in the same panels, which is what makes it work as a group gift from a whole class or from the family.
Yes — and for a PhD, a master's or a professional qualification. The story is written from what you describe, so the tone follows the milestone rather than a fixed template.
One clear photo of each person is enough. A well-lit shot where the face is fully visible works best — a cap-and-gown photo is ideal but not required.
Sixteen distinct looks, including superhero, manga, anime, noir, cartoon and 3D, so you can match the tone of the graduate rather than the occasion.
Printed comics start from $9.99, A5 format, from 20 pages on premium paper, with free worldwide shipping. A digital copy is included with every order.
Yes. Start free and create the whole comic before spending anything, so you know exactly what you are giving.
Give the digital comic on the day — a link or a printed PDF in a card — and let the bound copy arrive as a second gift afterwards.
