Comics are a form of visual communication that is useful for conveying information and has the advantage
of being easy to understand. Indonesian comics first known in the comic strip type was Put On which was
published in the weekly magazine Sin Po in 1931-1960. After that, many other Indonesian comic artists
created comics with images of characters inspired by American superheroes. One of the first known is the
comic Sri Asih by Raden Ahmad Kosasih in 1953. After the emergence of various types of comics with
superhero characters, Indonesian physical comics reached their glory in the 1960s to 1970s. A number of
characters who triumphed at that time we have often heard their names such as Gundala Putra Petir, Si
Buta dari Gua Hantu, and Godam. At that time, Indonesian comics and their characters and stories had
characteristics that were very liked by the public. Over time, the creation of Indonesian superhero
characters began to decrease. Therefore, in an ef ort to re-develop the character of Indonesian superheroes,
one of Indonesia's political figures, A.M. Hendropriyono, wanted to create an Indonesian superhero
character called Patriot Pancasila through a novel book that he wrote himself. To find out about character
creation, this research uses qualitative research methods, namely by conducting interviews with certain
parties, It can be concluded that the results of this study are the need to prepare a mature concept of the
psychological character of a character and need accuracy in finding references to Indonesian trends and
circumstances according to the predetermined timeline
