In Hawkins, Indiana, nothing is ever quite as it seems…
Dark Horse Comics and Netflix has announced new spooky tales featuring some of your favourite characters from Stranger Things in Stranger Things: Tales from Hawkins II. The four-issue limited series will hit comic book stores from June 25, 2025 and will feature an all-star roster of creative talent.
Each issue will be written by New York Times bestselling author Derek Fridolfs (DC Comics: Secret Hero Society, Batman: Arkham Unhinged), colored by Dan Jackson (Stranger Things, The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys), and lettered by Nate Piekos. Each issue will be illustrated by a different artist: Sunando C (Stranger Things: Tales from Hawkins, End After End) will illustrate issue #1, Bradley Clayton (West Hollywood Monster Squad, Killer Queens 2: Kings, Not Wings), will illustrate #2, Mack Chater (Midstate, Black Panther) will illustrate #3, and Vincenzo Riccardi (Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures—Echoes of Fear, Beyond Real) will illustrate #4. Issue #1 will also feature cover art by Diego Galindo with variants by Vincenzo Riccardi, Mack Chater, and Ben Turner.
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.
