Making memories
I saw the comic a friend ordered and got one for my son. His face lit up when he recognised himself on the cover, and we've read it at bedtime every night since. Love everything about it.
Very easy to create
Very easy to design, the whole thing took me five minutes on my phone. The book came quickly and it is absolutely adorable. Hundred percent recommend for a Christmas gift or a gift at all anytime.
Great product, easy to order
The comic came out great. Good art, a genuinely funny story, and helpful customer service when I wanted to change a detail before it went to print.
My husband loved the story
My husband usually buys whatever he needs for himself, so I am always stuck for his birthday. This time I got him good! Great story, arrived on time, and the character genuinely looks like him.
Perfect birthday gift!!
I ordered a comic for my grandson's 10th birthday. The pictures look just like him and the story is tailored beautifully to his interests. Stunning quality, and the digital copy arrived the same week so nothing was late. I will be ordering more for my other grandkids.
I keep ordering more
I keep coming back because the comics are so well illustrated and the stories are so specific to the person. The inside jokes land every time. I recommend it to anyone hunting for a gift that actually feels personal.

Frequently asked questions
How does The Main Character Book work?
Tell us about your hero: their name, a photo, and a few funny details. Our story engine generates everything: the title, the storyline and all the artwork (and it's genuinely funny). Pick the idea you like best, preview the real cover and opening page for free, choose your edition, and place your order.
How long does it take to get the book?
The printed comic typically arrives in 7-12 working days with free Standard delivery, or 5-7 working days with Expedited (£12). Your free digital edition lands in your inbox before the printed copy arrives, so there is always something to open on the day.
What is the size of the book?
Our comics are printed in full colour on high quality paper at 6.14 x 9.21 inches. The Deluxe Edition is 32 pages, perfect-bound like a proper graphic novel. The Standard Edition is 20 pages in classic saddle-stitch comic binding.
Will the character really look like them?
Yes. Our illustration engine draws them into every panel from a single photo, and a human editor checks every page before anything prints. Clear, front-facing photos give the best likeness.
What is your return policy?
You approve the real cover and opening page before paying a penny. If your printed book arrives damaged, misprinted or different from the preview you approved, contact us within 30 days and we will reprint it or refund you in full.
What do you do with the photo?
We use it only to create your comic, store it securely while we work on your book, and delete it after fulfilment. We never sell it, share it, or use it to train AI.
