The Big Heist: a personalized comic book gift
Every crew needs a mastermind, and you know exactly who it is: the one who plans the group vacation in a color-coded spreadsheet. Make a book about someone who would absolutely pull off the heist of the century, then trip the alarm by sneezing. They assemble a crew, crack an impossible vault and slide under laser beams in a slinky black outfit, with their own face on every page. And the loot? You can nudge the story toward something truly legendary, like the last slice of office birthday cake.

Questions about this comic
Can the heist happen at their actual workplace?
It can be inspired by it. Tell us their job and workplace in the hero questions or the 'anything special' field, and the vault might be hidden behind the break room fridge. Real company names and logos stay out of the art, so their office becomes a fictional version coworkers will still recognize.
Can I cast coworkers as the heist crew?
Yes. Mention them in the 'anything special' field, with a line on who cracks the safe, who drives and who panics, and they can appear in the story as the crew. The office plant can come too. Say in your answers if you want it extra silly; it makes a great team gift.
