Citation Abstract:  In recent years, the art of comics has emerged as a new form of resistance against gender relations that exist in Moroccan society (Chute, 2010). This study examines the extent to which comic art challenges the status quo of Moroccan society and how it is used to address various social issues, such as the changing roles of women in a male-dominated society. Through a mixed‐method approach, the researcher conducted interviews and a questionnaire to examine whether comics resist or reinforce these gender roles. The results demonstrate that while these stereotypes are still being reinforced, some artists are starting to question the status quo and promote equality.
