The use of its grammatically correct language and visual depiction of real dialogues and culture have made it enticing to any age group of language learners (Robson, 2013).

Significant findings were recorded indicating the use of comic strips had improved reading and writing among USIM Year 1 students who enrolled in ECP (English for Communicative) course in their second semester. Questionnaires, class observations and customized oral and written tests (OWT) were used to get information from the respondents. The OWT was used in order to determine the students’ competence and number of English vocabularies. The tests were administered to distinguish the implication of using comics in the newspaper to improve reading and writing among the respondents as well as to measure their achievements.
