The results showed that media expert validation reached 89.22% and material expert validation reached 90.22%, both categorized as highly feasible. The practicality scores were 90% from teachers and 92.67% from students. The effectiveness test showed a significance value of 0.001 and an N-Gain score of 0.7417. Therefore, the developed e-comic is valid, practical, and effective in improving students’ cultural literacy.
