Quest for the Crown: a personalized comic book gift
Some people were simply born to rule, at least in their own heads. This is their chance. In this personalized book for adults, your royal-in-waiting sets off to claim a lost crown, with their face on every page as they talk their way past a bridge troll, outlast a court full of scheming nobles and take the wrong fork in the road at least twice. Add a best friend as the loyal (and slightly reluctant) advisor. Ideal for the person who already runs the group chat like a small kingdom.

Questions about this comic
Can I put our friends in as the royal court?
Yes. Mention your friends in your answers and they can appear in the story as the loyal advisor, the court jester or the scheming rival. Use the "anything special" field to suggest who should play which part and to share your group's running jokes; the story ideas are written around what you tell us.
Can the story celebrate a milestone birthday or retirement?
Yes. Mention the occasion in the "anything special" field and the story is written with it in mind, so a coronation can double as a fiftieth birthday or a well-earned retirement. The printed hardcover also has room for a personal foreword where you can add your own message.
