The Pirates: The Golden Medallion

In 1990, The Lego Group launched The Pirates: The Golden Medallion, a single-issue comic that expanded their popular Pirates theme into a narrative adventure. Written by Per Sanderhage, Peter Hogan, and Vanessa Morgan, with art by Eduardo Vañó and Vicente Vañó, the story follows the hunt for a fabled treasure. Though brief, this issue stands as a key early example of Lego using original comics to build character and lore around their building sets.
