Critical Care Comics

Where imagination becomes comfort, and courage finds a voice.

Critical Care Comics is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing joy, strength, and hope to children facing cancer and other critical illnesses. Through custom comics, storytelling, and creative programs, they help young patients see themselves not as defined by their illness, but as heroes of their own stories. Each comic is tailored to a child’s interests and personality, transforming fear and uncertainty into creativity, empowerment, and confidence.

In hospital rooms and treatment centers, these comics do more than entertain—they provide comfort, spark imagination, and give children a sense of control and self-expression during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. By seeing themselves as heroes on the page, young patients gain courage that carries into each day of treatment.

Critical Care Comics believes in the transformative power of art and imagination. Every story, every illustration, and every program is designed to remind children that they are seen, valued, and never alone. Their work uplifts not only the children themselves, but also families and care teams, creating moments of joy and hope in environments that can feel overwhelming.

Broches for a Cause is honored to partner with Critical Care Comics through the Mighty Heroes Collection—three specially designed brooches that transform light into action. With every purchase, 25% of proceeds support the nonprofit’s programs, helping bring comfort, creativity, and hope to children when they need it most.
