Create with ComicWave
Turn your novel into a comic.
Turn a novel excerpt into an editable comic with AI. Start with one scene or chapter, review the cast and page plan, and decide what becomes action, dialogue or narration. The six-page starting plan is adjustable. This is a chapter-by-chapter adaptation workflow, not a one-click way to illustrate an entire book.

What you get
Choose the moments that matter
A paragraph can carry thoughts, history and movement at once. Give each panel a visible action and keep only the narration readers need. Check that cutting prose has not changed the scene’s meaning.
Keep the cast recognizable
Review character descriptions before artwork generation. Reuse accepted references and check outfits, props and expressions across pages; consistency still needs your review.
Control the page turn
Use the page plan to move a reveal, shorten an exchange or hold a quiet beat. Six pages is a starting point, not a promise to fit every chapter.
Edit the adaptation
Art and lettering remain separate. Correct dialogue without repainting the scene, inspect the full chapter, then export the accepted pages as images or PDF.
How it works
01
Choose your excerpt
Paste a chapter you have the right to adapt. Identify the essential action and lines that must remain.
02
Review the page plan
Check the cast and scene order. Adjust the six-page preset and approve adaptation choices before generating art.
03
Read the complete chapter
Review pictures, lettering and continuity together. Correct missing meaning and export only after a full read-through.
