The article mentioned that the Minister of Health, Budi Gunadi Sadikin, asked the Risk Communication and Community Engagement Working Group (Pokja RCCE) to support disease communication through comic media. This shows that the Indonesian government recognizes the important value of comics in conveying health information to the public. The research method used is problem-based through literature literacy analysis. This study used screen shoot techniques to collect data, then continued with content analysis by expert experts, namely visual and health communication experts. The results of Comics research can help convey messages in an interesting, easy-to-understand way and reach various walks of life.
