This study aims to develop and validate digital comic learning media based on research findings regarding microplastics, serving as a learning resource on plastic pollution in aquatic environments. The resulting product presents microplastic-related content through a contextual and engaging illustrated story, with the expectation of enhancing students' understanding of the issue of microplastic pollution. The study employs the Research and Development (R&D) method using the Plomp model, which comprises three stages: 1) preliminary research; 2) prototyping; and 3) assessment. Validation was conducted by subject matter and media experts, yielding validity scores of 91.66% and 91%, respectively. Based on these validation results, digital comic possesses a validity level of 91.33% and is categorized as highly valid, making it suitable for use as a learning resource regarding microplastic pollution.
