Stranger Things Returns With a New Story From Beloved Character

The end of Stranger Things at the start of this year left a Demogorgon-sized hole in our hearts. While we’re all collectively holding our breath for the upcoming animated spin-off, the fandom is still reeling from that ending. From latching onto some of the maddest fan theories I’ve ever seen involving secret government brainwashing subplots, to dissecting every frame of the series finale, one thing is clear. We’re all hungry for more Hawkins.

Well, I’ve got good news, Stranger Things fans! This brand-new Stranger Things adventure is set in the same timeline as the show, and will release 10 March 2026.

Our favourite Hawkins kids are set to return, with an all new perspective on one of the series most harrowing moments.

New Perspectives on Stranger Things Iconic Moments

This new Stranger Things release is called Stranger Things Volume 10: Tales from Hawkins, written by Derek Fridolfs (Batman: Li’l Gotham, Secret Hero Society).

Fridolfs is joined by a quartet of acclaimed artists - Sunando C, Bradley Clayton, Mack Chater, and Vincenzo Riccardi - to bring this collection of eerie episodes to life.

This ongoing anthology series from Dark Horse Comics is a real hit with fans. It’s designed to pull back the curtain on the moments we thought we knew, offering some genuine new insights into the lore.

In this new paperback release, we finally learn about the beloved science teacher Mr. Clarke’s harrowing encounter with Dart the demodog at the Hawkins drive-in theater. Just me who thinks he’s actually really cute? This is one of my favourite scenes in the entire show, so I’m hyped to read more about this.

There’s another story through the traumatized eyes of Will Byers as he ‘witnesses the horror of the Upside Down’, giving us a deeper look into his "Zombie Boy" era that the show only scratched the surface of.

One story goes into how the lethal KGB agent Grigori made the jump from post-war Russia to the mild-mannered American Midwest, giving us a much-needed look into his backstory.

And finally, perhaps most interestingly, we behold the ill-fated experiment and ensuing carnage that started it all - seen through the Demogorgon’s eyes. Does it have eyes? I’m unsure, but I’m still really intrigued by the idea.

How to buy Stranger Things Volume 10: Tales from Hawkins

Volume 10 is expected to be 96 pages of Stranger Things goodness, which you can pick up from your local comic book store or online at select online retailers starting 10 March for about $20/£17.99.

Right now, you can pre-order it for £14.25 on Amazon UK - that’s 21% off!

With the new Stranger Things animated series still deep in production and rumored for a late 2026 release, this is the perfect way to satisfy that Upside Down itch.

Hawkins might be gone from our TV screens for now, but as this comic book series proves, the town still has plenty of secrets left to spill.

If there’s one thing we should take away from Stranger Things Season 5, is the acting chops on one particular character who would be perfect for the upcoming Elden Ring movie.
