Abstract

Ririwa nu Mawa Pati, the Sundanese strip comic with horror genre, published by “Mangle”, a Sundanese cultural magazine in West Java, 1922. The comic consist of material about belief in the supernatural being in the Sundanese society at that time. This research attempts to find expressions of Sundanese human death journey conception derived from oral literature of selected informants in the comics as an intertext in an effort to understand and interpret the comics in depth. This is a qualitative research, intertextual analysis is used to find representations of cultural texts embodied in selected comic elements. The results of the analysis reveal the existence of oral literature absorption (hypogram) in the form of core and development in the comic as transition work, present explicitly through storyline, comic element in the form of dialogue in word balloons, description panel, and visual scene of the characters. Comics become a representation of the view of the comic artist about the world around the visible (or tangible) and invisible (or intangible).
