See the events of Stranger Things from all new perspectives with this comics collection of weird tales from Hawkins, Indiana—a small town that keeps getting stranger.
There are two sides to every story. This anthology series tells the stories behind iconic Stranger Things moments from unexpected perspectives, revealing new insights into the hit Netflix series!
Learn about Mr. Clarke’s harrowing encounter with Dart the demodog at the Hawkins drive-in theater. Witness the horror of the Upside Down as seen by Will Byers, the local “Zombie Boy.” Discover how killer KGB agent Grigori got from the mean streets of post-war Russia to the mild-mannered American Midwest. And behold the ill-fated experiment, and ensuing carnage, that started it all through the Demogorgon’s eyes (or lack thereof)!
