About Stranger Things: Tales from Hawkins II #1:
After shaking off a mysterious encounter with a strange “dog” while out at the Drive-In Cinema, Hawkins science teacher Scott Clarke is inspired to teach his students how 3D glasses work; this spirals into theories about alternate dimensions and how they might be perceived. Meanwhile, Dustin keeps secret that the weird “dog” could be nothing other than Dart, his missing pet demodog.
Future issues will also feature stories about Will Byers, Grigori, and the Demogorgon.
Stranger Things: Tales from Hawkins II #1 (of 4) arrives in comic shops on June 25, 2025. It is now available for preorder from your local comic shop for $4.99.
Praise for Stranger Things comics:
“Their doomed adventure is creepy, concise, and compelling, with the fact that we knew nothing of these figures prior to this book and the horrible fate they suffer serving as a strong reminder that, no matter how much we think we know about Hawkins, there’s much more lurking in the shadows than we’ve ever realized.”–Comicbook.com on Stranger Things: Tales from Hawkins #1
“As a geek on a budget, I would highly recommend the first issue of Stranger Things: Kamchatka. It has that magical ability to transport us back in time and the reader is not required to be a die-hard fan of the franchise to appreciate this series.”—Indie Comix Dispatch
“You’ve seen the show Stranger Things, but this is your first glimpse of the strangeness that happened before the series began!”—Comic Book Resources
“As soon as you read the first few panels, you feel like you’re in Hawkins, Indiana.”—Horror Geek Life
