ISSUE #1 · THE MANUAL THAT IS A COMIC

HOW IT WORKS!

Everything Comic AI can do, told panel by panel. Read the whole issue in five minutes — or jump straight to a chapter below.

1 ZAP!

Your first comic in one click

Go to Create, type a rough idea — one sentence is plenty — and hit ⚡ Quick Create. The AI expands your idea into a story, writes a prompt for every panel, generates the artwork, and saves the finished strip. You just watch the panel-by-panel progress bar do its thing.

Want more control? Take the scenic route instead:

  • ✨ Enhance turns your rough idea into a full story you can edit first.
  • Skip enhance keeps your exact words and only writes the panel prompts.
  • Review or rewrite any panel prompt, then generate the images when you're happy.
Tip: pick 4, 6 or 8 panels and a layout before you hit the button — short stories punch harder!
2 FREE!

Your first comic is on us

No sign-up form, no invite needed: everyone gets one full comic for free. When it saves, an account is created for you automatically and a recovery password pops up — save it! It's the only key back into your account.

Want to keep creating? Open an invite link (ask the admin) and your account is upgraded on the spot — you keep your name and your first comic.

3 POW!

Styles & models

Every comic has an art style: pick a preset, write your own, or let 🎨 Generate Style invent one that fits your story.

Images come from Pollinations by default — free, no key needed. In ⚙️ Settings you can switch models, test which ones are up, or plug in your own Google, OpenAI or xAI key for premium models.

4 FIX!

Edit like a pro

One weak panel doesn't sink the strip. In the Gallery view of your comic you can:

  • ✨ Regenerate a single panel — with a new prompt if you like.
  • ✏️ Edit a panel with AI image editing.
  • Browse every version a panel ever had and set your favourite as primary.
  • Drag panels to reorder, resize, or make one double-wide.
Nothing is lost: old versions stay in the history, and deleted images sit in the 🗑️ Trash until you restore or purge them.
5 BAM!

Bubbles, captions & SFX

Comics talk. Add speech bubbles and drag them anywhere on a panel, write captions under each image, and drop classic sound effects — KAPOW, WHOOSH, ZZZT — rendered in proper comic lettering on top of the art.

6 TWIN!

Same hero, every panel

The character bible keeps your cast consistent: when your story is broken into panels, each character gets a locked visual description that is re-injected into every image prompt — so the hero in panel 8 still looks like the hero from panel 1, even after regenerations.

7 FANS!

8 PRINT!

Export & print

Take your comic offline: 📦 Export downloads your artwork, and 🖨️ Print lays the whole strip out on paper. A shareable preview card shows your comic's cover, title and author.

9 HI!

Speaks your language

The interface is available in English, Deutsch, Español and Français — switch with the language menu in the header. Your comics' captions and bubbles are always yours, in whatever language you write them.

10 100%

Honest about AI

Every generated image carries a machine-readable "AI-generated" marker embedded in the file itself (the industry-standard IPTC digital-source tag) — so even a downloaded panel says what it is. Transparent for readers, effortless for you.
