Mission to Mars: a personalized comic book gift
Somebody has to be first on Mars, and it might as well be the person who organizes the fridge like a mission control panel. This story sends your hero on the long trip to the red planet: the launch, the cramped months in the capsule, the dust storm and a strange signal coming from a cave. Their face is on every page, behind a dusty helmet visor. Tell us their job and the story can make it the one skill the mission cannot survive without. A personalized book for your boyfriend, girlfriend or friend who is always looking up.

Questions about this comic
My partner is an engineer. Will that come up?
If you tell us. Their job, hobbies and what they know more about than anyone shape the story, so an engineer might rebuild the rover, a chef might grow potatoes in red dust and a teacher might keep the crew calm. Add any specifics in the 'anything special' field.
Does it work as a long-distance relationship gift?
It is a great fit. Tell us in your answers that you want it romantic, mention yourself in the 'anything special' field, maybe as the voice from mission control, and say how far apart you are right now. The eBook can be shared by private link, so they can read it the day you order.
