<![CDATA[Webtoon is a digital comic platform and has become a very popular entertainment medium among teenagers today. The comic Dorm Du is interesting to study because it features Muslim characters who consistently practice Islam in the midst of an unfamiliar black dormitory environment. This study aims to identify and interpret in depth how fundamental Islamic values (aqidah, sharia, and akhlak) are represented through visual and verbal signs in the comic. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Primary data in the form of scene excerpts from six episodes (3, 9, 11, 12, 24, and 25) were collected through observation and documentation techniques. Data analysis uses Roland Barthes' Semiotics, dissecting meaning into three levels: denotation, connotation, and myth. Data validity is ensured through source triangulation, increased diligence, and peer validation. The results of the study show that the Dorm Du comic represents Islamic values. Faith is represented as trust in God, which is implemented in prayer and the refusal to remove the hijab. Sharia is represented as a non-compromising principle of life, such as being firm in one's stance and refusing physical contact with non-mahrams. Akhlak is represented as a manifestation of true faith in terms of helping others and being a good friend. The Dorm Du comic serves as an effective contemporary medium for da'wah, naturalizing Islamic values into popular narratives so that religious messages can be conveyed in a light and relevant manner to young audiences.]]>
