This document presents the results of a study that examined the effects of using comic magazines to improve reading comprehension among 8th grade students in Cilegon, Indonesia. It shows pretest and posttest scores for 30 students, with average scores increasing from 56.0667 to 62.2667 after the intervention. Statistical analysis found a strong positive correlation between pretest and posttest scores (r=0.932) and that posttest scores can reliably predict pretest scores.
