AI Comic MakerFull-color comics, no drawing required

Everything a comic maker needs
Text-to-panel generation
Describe the scene in plain English and get a finished comic panel — background, characters, action, and mood in one shot.
Vibrant color, bold linework
No B&W screentone here — Comic Maker renders punchy full-color art with the thick, confident inking of a Western comic page.
Left-to-right reading order
Panels lay out the way Western readers expect — no flipping the page backwards like manga mode.
Panel layout editor
Pick a layout — Single, 2 Side, 2 Stack, 3 Panel, or 4 Grid — and type dialogue and captions per panel — they are lettered into your PNG strip and CBZ export.
Community publishing
Post your strip to Gootaku's Explore feed, get votes and comments, and build an audience for your webcomic.
No subscription, ever
1 token on signup, +1 every 2 days — no card required. Need more? Top up a token pack once — we never auto-bill you.
From idea to published page
Three steps, no drawing required.
Write the scene
Type what happens in the panel — who's there, what they're doing, the punchline if it's a gag strip.
Pick your style
Choose a look — Anime, Chibi, Webtoon, Noir, or Retro — and lock your character's design.
Generate & publish
Gootaku renders every panel, you arrange the page, and you publish straight to Explore or export for social.
Built for every comic format
Webcomics
Build an ongoing series with consistent characters, page after page, without touching a stylus.

Serial comics
Drop weekly chapters for your community, Patreon-style, with the same cast every time.
4 prompts that work
Comic prompts read like a script line: characters, action, setting, then the framing. Say 'wide shot' or 'close-up' and the framing follows; the page layout is a separate pick.
Cost: 1 token per panel
- PROMPT 01
A caped hero in a blue-and-gold suit catches a falling bus one-handed above a crowded street, debris flying, onlookers pointing. Wide shot, bold ink, halftone shading.
→ A Western superhero splash panel with thick outlines and halftone dots — built for a full-page reveal.
- PROMPT 02
Two coworkers at a coffee machine, one holding an empty pot, the other mid-eye-roll. Flat colors, simple background, three-panel strip feel.
→ A clean gag-strip panel with a plain background and room at the top for a punchline balloon.
- PROMPT 03
A space marine in scuffed armor peers around a corridor corner, flashlight beam cutting through steam. Dutch angle, cool blue palette.
→ A sci-fi action panel with a tilted frame and directional lighting — it cuts well against a bright panel before it.
- PROMPT 04
Vintage 1960s style: a woman in a diner booth clutches a letter, tears in her eyes, jukebox glowing behind her. Ben-Day dots, limited palette.
→ A retro romance panel with printed-dot shading and a period palette, ready for a caption box.

FAQ.
How is Comic Maker different from Manga Maker?+
Manga Maker renders black-and-white, screentone-shaded art read right-to-left, in Classic B&W, shōnen, shōjo, seinen, and chibi styles. Comic Maker renders full-color, bold-lined Western comic art read left-to-right — same AI engine, different visual language and layout.
Which comic art styles can I choose?+
Anime is the default, plus Chibi, Webtoon (full-color, mobile-first), Noir (high-contrast black and white), and Retro (80s halftone). You can switch styles between panels.
Can I make a multi-page webcomic with the same cast?+
Yes. Design each character once — or upload a reference image — and Gootaku reuses that look every time they appear, so your cast stays consistent across strips, pages, and weekly chapters.
Can I publish my comic to social media?+
Yes — export finished pages or panels as image files to post on Instagram, TikTok, and X, or publish directly to Gootaku's Explore community feed to get votes and comments first.
How much does Comic Maker cost?+
Nothing to start: every account gets 1 token on signup, +1 every 2 days and each token generates one panel. For bigger projects the Starter Pack ($7.49, 100 tokens) and Creator Pack ($29.99, 500 tokens) are one-time top-ups with no recurring billing, and unused paid tokens never expire.
