Story in. Graphic novel out.
Your short story, drawn as a comic that stays consistent from the first panel to the last.
AutoComic adapts your writing into a finished, lettered comic. Each character is cast once and stays on model. Each location is built as a 3D set, so rooms don't rearrange themselves between panels.

Mara found him in the reading room, between the window and the old shelves. He was holding the map she had drawn for him years ago.
"You kept the map?"
"Every fold of it," Theo said.
Most AI comic tools draw pictures. AutoComic tells a story.
A comic only works if readers believe it's the same people in the same place from panel to panel. Tools that draw every panel separately from a prompt keep breaking that. Here's the same three-panel scene done both ways.
Typical AI comic tool
- Garbled lettering. Words come out misspelled because the image model paints the text.
- Characters drift. Theo's glasses vanish and his sweater changes colour between panels.
- The room rearranges itself. The bookshelf turns into a window and walls move.
- Bubbles cover faces. Balloons land wherever there's room, even over someone's eyes.
- New hair, new clothes. Mara goes blonde, changes jackets and loses her scarf.
- Staging falls apart. A stranger walks in and the two characters swap sides.
AutoComic
- Clean lettering. Dialogue is set as real type, never painted by the image model.
- A fixed cast. Faces, hair, outfits and props are locked in reference sheets before any panel is drawn.
- Real sets. Every location is built in 3D, so the window and shelf stay where they are from any angle.
- Bubbles that respect the art. Balloons are placed in open space, sized to the line, and checked so they never cover a face.
- Planned staging. Characters and cameras sit on the set's floor plan, so people stay where they were standing.
- Every panel is checked. Panels that don't match the plan are fixed or redrawn before you see them.

How AutoComic turns prose into pages
It works like a small comics studio: a writer, a director, a set builder, an artist, a letterer and an editor. Each step plans the next, and each step is checked.
-
Read the story
AutoComic builds a story bible: who's in it, what they wear and carry, where each scene happens, and how things change along the way.
-
Write the script
Your prose becomes a comic script. It decides the panel count, the beats, the dialogue and the captions, keeping your words wherever it can.
-
Build the sets
Every location is built as a 3D set, furnished with the things that belong there. The set is locked before any drawing starts.
-
Direct every shot
A director places characters and cameras on the set, keeping track of who stands where and which way the camera faces.
-
Draw, check, redraw
Each panel is drawn from the set and the cast's reference sheets, then checked for the right people, outfits, props and layout. Mistakes are fixed or redrawn.
-
Letter and assemble
Balloons and captions are placed so they read in order and keep faces clear. Then the pages are put together and ready to read.

Questions
What does AutoComic do?
You give AutoComic a short story. It writes a comic script, plans every shot, builds each location as a 3D set, draws and checks every panel, and letters the pages. You get a finished comic, not a pile of separate pictures.
How is this different from other AI comic generators?
Most AI comic tools draw each panel on its own from a prompt, so faces, outfits and rooms drift from panel to panel. AutoComic plans the whole story first: characters are cast once, every location is a 3D set, and cameras are placed on that set. Each panel is checked against the plan and redrawn if something is wrong.
What can I upload?
Your own writing, public-domain stories, or AI-assisted text that you have the rights to use. We start with short stories; longer works come later.
What art style does AutoComic use?
At launch, one clean modern graphic-novel style. It is deliberately not photorealistic and never imitates a named artist. More styles will follow.
How much will it cost?
Pricing will be announced before launch. People on the waitlist hear first.
When can I try it?
We are testing the pipeline now and will invite people from the waitlist in waves. Join with your email and we will write when your invite is ready.
