Translating culture-specific concepts seems to be one of the most challenging tasks to be performed by a translator. It is due to the fact that culture has particular connotation and implications in the source language (SL) and the target language (TL). This condition is then added with another challenge when the translator has to translate the children comic books in which the translated culture concepts should be fit for the children and also the comic books elements. The present paper aims at analyzing the strategies taken by the translators in overcoming the difficulties and problems that cultural and comic elements pose. The usual strategies taken are (1) translation by a more general word, (2) translation by a more neutral/ less expressive word, (3) translation by cultural substitution, (4) translation using a loan word or loan word plus explanation, (5) translation by paraphrase using a related word, (6) translation by paraphrase using unrelated words, (7) translation by omission, (8) translation by illustration. However, the result of this study shows that the translation by cultural substitution and translation by a more general word were used most by the translators.
