Due to its entertainment characteristics, dealing with interpretation and reading skills, its use opens up a range of pedagogical possibilities. With this perspective in mind, the objective of this present work was to analyze the perception of students regarding the use of comic books as a pedagogical tool for teaching embryology. Two themes were chosen in this area, concepts of origin and embryonic development and congenital malformation. The "Canva" and "Storyboard That" platforms were used to make the comics. The first comic book called “The race of life” was applied to the Biological Sciences class during the course of embryology. To collect data regarding the use of comics in the classroom, a form manufactured in Google forms was used. The answers from the students were satisfactory and resulted in the confirmation of comic strips as a good tool of active methodology for teaching Embryology Through this present work, it was possible to confirm the effectiveness of comics in education and a possible application of this methodology in higher and secondary education.
