Alien Invasion: a personalized comic book gift
The aliens have landed, and they have made a terrible mistake: they landed on your hero's street. This story turns an ordinary weeknight into a planet-saving adventure. Flying saucers hover over the grocery store, the neighbors get beamed up one by one, and your hero discovers the invaders' only weakness, which turns out to be their off-key singing in the car. Their face, flabbergasted and then heroic, is on every page. Their funny habit or oddly specific expertise might be exactly what saves the planet.

Questions about this comic
Can the aliens be based on people we know?
Yes, with a wink. Mention friends or coworkers in the 'anything special' field and suggest they play the invaders or the neighbors who get beamed up. Keep it affectionate: the book teases with love and never humiliates.
How funny versus how serious is it?
That depends on your answers. Tell us you want it silly and you might get singing aliens and abducted lawn gnomes; ask for a straight sci-fi blockbuster and the story ideas lean that way. Every version stays PG-13, so it is safe to hand over at a family dinner.
