Who we make comics for
Recruitment packets, awareness campaigns, and literacy material get skimmed and forgotten. A branded comic gets picked up, read, and kept. We build a custom superhero comic around your brand and your people, and you own every character in it.

Star in your own comic, keep a family story forever, or give a gift no one else can. We turn a personal story into a published comic book with a hero who looks and lives like you.

Flagship partnership
In August 2025 we released the first fraternity-themed superhero comic book series, created in partnership with Alpha Phi Alpha. Proof that FutureGen can carry a respected institution's identity into an original story its members are proud to hand out.
Why FutureGen
The heroes, world, and story we create are yours to keep, license, and grow. You leave with an asset, not a rental.
Every character is designed from scratch around your story, your people, and your look.
A comic people want to read does the work a brochure never could. Your message rides inside a story.
Literacy, values, and lessons land harder when a hero is living them on the page.
Writing, pencils, inks, color, and lettering all happen with our own team, start to finish.
Since 2016 we have built a deep original universe, so we know how to make a hero that lasts.
The creative process
You see your hero take shape at every step. Nothing is a mystery, and nothing gets locked without your say.
We take a guided tour through your idea and shape the story and characters with you.
The first pencils show our interpretation of your world for you to react to.
Once the pencils feel right, we ink each page so every line turns crisp and final.
With the art locked, we add color and depth so the design fully comes alive.
Your finished comic is yours to hold, share, hand out, and keep.

A young girl was told comic books are for boys. Founder Keith A. Harris and his wife made her a comic of her own, and that single book grew into the FutureGen Universe and its 100+ original characters.
