Contrary to traditional methods, the use of age-appropriate and interesting materials in teaching national history and gaining citizenship awareness enriches teaching. International literature shows that the use of educational comics can be used as an effective material in teaching history and transferring citizenship. On the other hand, research on the use of educational comics in teaching national history and citizenship education in social studies courses in Turkey is quite limited. The aim of this study is to prepare the digital comics book of Captain Pilot Cengiz Topel, the first air warfare martyr in the history of the Republic of Turkey. WEB 2.0 Pixton was used in the preparation of the digital comics book. The scenario of the digital comics book "A Star Fell on Cyprus" addresses the events of the Cyprus resistance, Bloody Christmas Night, Turkey's help for the Turkish Cypriots, Martry Captain Pilot Cengiz Topel's capture and the martyrdom of Greeks. In the process of writing the scenario of the comics book, real events, places, and people were used, and expert opinion was obtained. It is expected that the digital comic book "A Star Fell on Cyprus" will contribute to Social Studies education in terms of raising awareness about the Cyprus İssue, introducing important people and heroes in Turkish history, creating national identity, and raising national awareness, analyzing the political, social, and cultural relations of our country with the Turkish Republics, as well as gaining national and universal values such as patriotism, justice, peace, and freedom.
