It has been written several papers on the use of comics as source material in history teaching. In this study, I focus on a selected title, comic book Kämpa för rättvisa. It claims itself that it can teach "about labor history". In a qualitative analysis, with metods from both narrative and semiotic fields, I analyze the comic books content and form. Based on the requirements of the history curriculum in sweden secondary school, which is materialized in a didactic history theory framework, I study the historical knowledge it conveys, how it looks in comparison with a traditional textbook and discuss the potential use of the selected comic book for history teaching in secondary schools. In the result of my studies, it appeared that the comic book primarily conveys historical factual knowledge of industrialization and democratization in Sweden in 1900, Swedish labor history and development of the Swedish welfare during the 1900s. I also found signs that the substance abilities in the subject of history, such as the development of students' historical awareness, activation of their historical emapti and the ability to discuss (and see) the use of history can be worked with in teaching based on the comic books content. In comparison to a traditional textbook appeared comic book as more subjective in its communication of historical knowledge.
