This research used a method with the gradual development of ADDIE: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. After being validated by media experts and material experts, the development results show that digital comic meets the criteria as media. In addition, the results of testing the application of digital comic media in learning English found that the communication skills were better by the increase in the ability to guess, arrange arguments, formulate definitions, and generalize.
