This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The participants were 28 fourth-grade students, with a limited trial involving 8 students and a field trial involving 28 students. Data were collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, document analysis, validation sheets, student response questionnaires, and pretest-posttest instruments. The data were analyzed in terms of feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness. The results indicated that the digital comic was highly feasible, receiving validation scores of 95% from the material expert, 97% from the media expert, and 95% from the practitioner. It was also highly practical, with student response scores of 96.87% in the limited trial and 97.39% in the field trial. The implementation of learning activities achieved 75% and 77.5% in the first and second meetings, respectively, both categorized as highly practical. The digital comic was proven effective, with a normalized gain score of 0.8 (high category). Therefore, the local wisdom-based digital comic is highly feasible, practical, and effective for improving students understanding.
