Abstract

The implementation of local wisdom-based education through folklore has been widely done, such as identification and documentation, or pure literary research. In the current digital era, in order for folklore to continue to exist, it must be transformed into the world of education. To be able to transform well, the folklore of Lengkusa and Putri Rambut Putih needs to be made in the form of digital comics. With the use of current science and technology, the folktales of Lengkusa and Putri Rambut Putih can be adapted into digital comics so that they can be more easily accessed, more affordable costs, and broader insights. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with data analysis techniques through local wisdom educational values and digital comic design approaches. The basis of design refers to data in the form of character design and storytelling elements through comics. The results showed that, first, the local wisdom values found in the characters in the folklore of Lengkusa and Putri Rambut Putih are social values, aesthetic values, economic values, cultural values, and political values. Comics prioritise social and political values in the storytelling. Second, the design of digital comics can improve the storytelling aspect approach in making comic scripts that can present the messages contained in character education values. Third, this comic was developed in the design of digital media so that it can be easily accessed by the public, especially the younger generation.
