The data used were both quantitative and qualitative, collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, pre-tests, post-tests, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test. The validation results indicated that the developed comic-based learning media is highly valid and effective in increasing students' learning motivation, with a media expert validation score of 95% (very valid category) and a material expert validation score of 93.3% (very valid category).
