Web comic is a growing market in Indonesia. In spite of that, visual narration media with local content has not yet widely explored. It is such a shame since it has potential to be more immersive to readers. This exploration is then commenced to design an interactive web comic with higher immersion level compared to the usual ones. Historical content of Prabu Siliwangi is then selected because of its educative value towards the intented young-adult target audience. The heroic values in the story of Prabu Siliwangi is adapted into a modern take of the story that is appealing to the target reader demographic including college students and young adults. This web comic is designed to utilise multimedia and non-linear storytelling technique to retell the narrative of Prabu Siliwangi. The web comic pages are then arranged in a website so it can be accessed easily from smartphones and laptops.
