Golden Blocks comic book helps teach Augusta history to kids
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – On Wednesday, the Golden Blocks comic series leaders took a trip down memory lane.
They held a panel to discuss the process of putting the first issue together.
They talked about developing the art, research and all the work that went into the start of the series.
An associate professor at Augusta University says the comic is a unique way for students to learn about Augusta’s rich history.

“This was exciting because oftentimes, it’s an overlooked medium — to tell stories and to convey an educational message. For me, at least, I was really excited to dabble in this world that has been a part of my personal world for so many decades,” said Corey Rogers, executive director of Lucy C. Laney Museum.
The comic book is being used as a learning resource in schools all over.
