Generating covers

Every issue gets a front cover, and you can optionally add a back cover. Each costs 50 credits to generate.

Editing cover settings

Cover and back-cover settings are now editable inline in the Advanced Script Editor — no need to switch back to the issue page to adjust text, characters, or reference images. Open the Cover section at the top (or Back Cover at the bottom), and expand the collapsible panel to edit:

• Scene text (the cover's narrative brief)
• Which characters appear on the cover
• Character looks (which avatar to use)
• Reference images to guide the generation
• (Front cover only) Whether the series title, issue number, or issue title render on the cover

Changes save automatically. You can also ask the Script Assistant to adjust these settings by chat (e.g., "put Alice on the cover" or "hide the issue number").

To generate the cover, switch to the issue page and click Generate — the editor only edits the settings, not the image itself.

Front cover

The front cover is the first thing readers see — in your dashboard, on a published reader page, in the gallery, in social shares. The AI generates a cover that:

• Features your main characters in their defined looks
• Reflects the issue's tone and genre based on the synopsis
• Includes the issue title (rendered as in-image text in your chosen language)
• Matches the issue's art style

You can:

• Provide a cover prompt to guide composition ("Maya stands in the rain on a Tokyo rooftop, lit by neon")
• Pick which characters to feature
• Regenerate the cover if the result doesn't fit (50 credits per regeneration)

Back cover

Optional, useful for:

• A teaser image that wraps the story
• A character lineup
• A "next issue" hook
• Decorative artwork

Back covers cost 50 credits to generate. Skip them if you only care about the front.

Cover styles

Covers use the same art style as the rest of the issue — a manga issue gets a manga-style cover, a noir issue gets a noir cover. You don't pick the style separately for the cover.

Title rendering

The AI renders the issue title as part of the cover image, in the issue's language. If the title comes out small or hard to read, regenerate with a more specific prompt that calls for prominent title placement (e.g., "issue title 'Neon Storm' rendered large at the top").

Translating a cover

If you translate your issue to another language, the cover gets a separate translated version generated automatically — see translating your comic. Each cover translation also costs 50 credits.

Failed cover generation

Same as pages — if the generation fails (content moderation, timeout, model error), you're refunded automatically. Edit the prompt or characters and try again.
