Looking for a tool/website recommendation

For a long time, I've wanted to explore the possibility of creating a graphic novel. I am an author, have a small website that people subscribe to, and pay, and when I was discussing this with my people, they were extremely interested in a graphic novel based on my stuff. I can't draw, and I can't afford an illustrator, so this solves the problem.

I sprung $22 for OpenAI Dalle 3. Started off great, was struggling with consistency, but it was decent. Then the quality of images just tumbled.

I tried Bing Image Creator/Designer. The quality is the best. Again Dalle 3, but Microsoft don't have tools like inpainting, and consistency is a pain in the ass.

Brings me to this. Is there a service, which pushes Dalle 3 or something of equal measure, that does not use Discord (I prefer a web interface), does not force a specific art style on you, and has tools like inpainting, and goes someway to help with consistency? I am willing to pay.

Tools I have tried and will not use.

Nightcafe - Really good platform. Quality is meh for my type of stuff. Wombo - Started here, very basic and needs you to use one of their art styles. Go without and you get Picasso on acid sort of images. StarryAI - Also good, but can't seem to get the right quality.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
