Abstract
In a study found that the higher the interest and motivation of students towards learning, the higher the learning outcomes that can be achieved by students. In order students to be able to enjoy the learning process, a fun learning is needed to please students.

Some studies have developed comic into worksheet in order to gain students attention so then their learning out comes could be increased. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether the comics worksheet can affect to learning outcomes or not. This study will focused on analyze a comic worksheet based on mathematics history. The research used pretest-posttest method to collect data with paired t-test and N-Gain analysis techniques. The results showed an increase in student learning outcomes from an average of 54.1875 become 77.9688. From the results of the N-Gain calculation, the increase is included in the high category with a value of 1.0794. Thus, it can be concluded that the historical comic worksheet can improve student learning outcomes.
