Teaching materials are a set of materials that are arranged systematically written or not, to create an environment or atmosphere that allows students to learn. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of how the development of teaching materials using comic media that enhance mathematical communication, as well as feasible and effective teaching materials developed. Research method used in this research is Research and Development. In the sense of research contains about how to develop teaching materials through several stages such as validation by experts, as well as revisions. Sources of data used in this study were students and teachers SMK Bandung Barat. The results showed that the teaching materials developed feasible and effective use for students of class X SMK Bandung Barat. Teaching materials received a proper assessment of the experts after going through several stages of revision, in addition to the effective teaching materials used by students seen from the liveliness and the value of classical completeness that reaches more 85% of students.
