Abstract: . Islam does not restrict the use of various media to achieve the success of da’wah. Any medium may be used if it is considered effective as long as the da’wah is carried out with the correct method and does not contradict with Islamic faith and law. One of the effective media to da’wah in this contemporary era is comic. It has the ability to deliver the message in a way that is easier to be accepted and understood because the language of picture used in comic is easier to be understood than written and spoken language. The emergence of comic as the medium of da’wah begins at around 2000. At that time, Islamic comic appeared in line with the growth of Islamic da’wah among youth, which was based in campuses and schools. The interesting things that will be discussed in this study are: First, the history and development of Islamic comic in Indonesia. Second, factors behind the emergence of the comic that will be discussed from the comic artists’ point of view, which is considered different from the mainstream comic creator. Third, reason behind the selection of comic to deliver da'wah message. The last, attitude and argumentation of the Muslim comic artists towards "ikhtilaf" or pros and cons among Islamic mahzabs about depiction of creature. This study is the first study which discusses about da’wah Islamic comic in Indonesia which stressed on qualitative data collection through in-depth interview with professional Islamic comic artists in Indonesia. Literature review has also been employed as secondary data.
