Abstract	:	In recent years, the usage of graphic books in Indonesia has become a tool to assist with the possible mitigation of religious and ethnic differences within the country by attempting to provide interfaith education and knowledge to the masses. Through an analysis of graphic book narratives, pictorial representation, and forms of language used within graphic books, the focus of my study is to examine the underlying knowledge being delivered to readers of graphic books in the form of engaging stories and popular graphics. The purpose of this research is to examine how graphic books are being used as an indirect way of communicating various discourses on traditions of Islam, and the ways graphic books might help as educational tools to mitigate ethnic-religious conflict in Indonesia. The aim of this research is to answer how these graphic books address issues of ethnic and religious conflict by examining how the narratives within graphic books can change ideas, shape identities, and provide education and knowledge to the public. Through understanding the underlying knowledge being delivered to readers, and how those with power are dispensing their narratives, one can uncover how these graphic books can potentially influence readers into reorienting aspects of their religious beliefs and perceived cultural identity.
