“…Rowe (2016, 365) notes that comics may suggest pace and rhythm, but unlike film, comics 'neither possesses nor orders duration'. These distinctions have led scholars such as Chute (2010) and Morton (2015) to view comics as a medium which exists in space, rather than time, in which it is up to the reader not only to set the pace of reading but also to infer the temporal relationship within and between each panel. Additionally, McCloud (1993), Groensteen (2007), and Eisner (2008) all comment on comics as a medium with gaps, which readers must actively fill in order to create meaning, a level of active participation which is not required when watching a film.…”

This article presents a working definition of digital comics for the specific context of the British Library. It explores formal and sociocultural characteristics of digital comics as well as the sociocultural issues surrounding comic collections at national libraries. This article argues for the value of flexible working definitions over formal definitions and explores the problematic issue of definitional authority at a national institution such as the British Library. This article defines what distinguishes a digital comic from a print comic and explores visual, functional, and sociocultural features of digital comics before presenting a flexible, composite working definition of a digital comic. This definition is presented in the spirit of an instrumental case study with the aim of helping to inform other context-specific working definitions of digital comics.

“…The similarity of the comic story delivery line with the chronological history allows the reader to focus more on reading and visual observation. Reading comics requires a process of analysis, making judgments, and evaluating the truth of the story's facts that can pique readers' curiosity [63].…”

Comics provide a visual, inventive, and sequential reading experience for students learning on their own. Both comics and history present narratives in chronological order. Students pay less attention to reading historical literature, requiring them to put more emphasis on their thinking skills. The author intends to determine how historical comic learning affects students’ critical thinking skills. This quasi-experimental mixed-method design included pre- and post-tests and interview group. A total of 184 students were divided evenly between two groups, each consisting of N=92 members: a control group and an experimental group. While members of the control group were taught to read textbooks through online instruction, members of the experimental group read historical comics learning media. The N-Gain test showed the treatment group’s critical thinking skills was 61.8% (Moderate) and the control group’s was 38.2% (Low). The ANOVA findings demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between historical comics learning media and critical thinking skills (F = 49.749; p = 0.000). The results indicate that using historical comics makes reading material more enjoyable, adds intrigue to stories, and improves students’ attention. In order to maximize critical thinking students’ skills, it is important to pay greater attention to the provision of engaging, interactive, and appropriate learning media.

This study aims to determine the effect of learning media using virtual reality technology on comic images on student history learning outcomes. The focus of this research on the development of learning media is to test and compare the differences in student learning outcomes on the material for the proclamation of independence. The data collection method used is experimental and class control involving 113 students. The analysis used in processing the data is Analysis of Variance. The results showed that student learning outcomes were higher when using virtual reality learning media than textual instructional media. This study shows that virtual reality learning media has a significant impact on improving student learning outcomes. The experimental class that uses virtual reality media is more active in learning. This condition confirms that the virtual reality comic picture media with historical material has proven effective for use as learning instructional media in the classroom.
