The Cursed Castle: a personalized comic book gift
The portraits' eyes follow you, the suits of armor whisper, and the drawbridge only lowers for the one person brave enough (or nosy enough) to break the curse. That person is your hero. Their face appears on every page as they decode riddles carved into the walls, tiptoe past a sleeping gargoyle and argue with a ghostly butler about the dress code. Spooky enough for shivers, funny enough for snorts, and made for the friend who always volunteers to check out the weird noise.

Questions about this comic
How scary is the cursed castle?
Fun-scary, never gory. Expect creaking doors, glowing eyes and a ghost or two, balanced with plenty of humor. Tell us in your answers if you want more shivers or more giggles, and the three story ideas we write for you lean that way.
Can our cat be the castle's mysterious guardian?
Yes. Pets can appear in the story when you mention them in your answers. Your cat could show up as the guardian of the keys or simply the one creature in the castle that is not remotely scared. Share their quirks in the "anything special" field so the story ideas can use them.
