Where both groups were given a pre-test and post-test, while the treatment in the form of learning used by comic strips was only given to the experimental group. This study used a convergent parallel mixed method design which consist of twogroups of experimental and control which are 22 students. The totals of participants are 44 students. The questionnaire was analyzed by calculated the percentage of students‟ answers for each response to each questionnaire item and then describes it. The result shows that t-observed is higher than the score of t-table so hypothesis (H1) can be accepted. It means that there is significant difference in students' writing skill before and after being taught by means applying the comic strips. On the other hand, based on the questionaires students respond positively about the implementation of comic strips as teaching media in narrative writing material.
