The integration of augmented reality (AR) into children's literature has transformed traditional reading experiences, creating immersive and interactive environments that engage young readers. This study examines the creative methods of comic language within AR children's books, positing that the combination of humor and visual storytelling can significantly enhance children's reading interest and comprehension. Building on the premise that playful and memorable experiences are crucial for fostering a love of reading--especially among those who may struggle with lengthy texts (Dunleavy & Dede, 2014). This empirical research aims to fill the existing gap in the literature regarding comic language in AR contexts. The investigation focuses on two key dimensions: (1) the visual semantics and narrative techniques employed in the selected comic languages that are integrated into AR storytelling, and (2) a comparative analysis of the benefits and limitations of comic-based animated AR storytelling versus traditional AR books and paper- based formats. The findings are expected to provide insights into the design methods and effectiveness of comic language as a pedagogical tool in augmented reality books, offering implications for educators, authors, and developers in the field of children's literature.
