A heartfelt send-off to one of Stranger Things’ most beloved characters!

Dark Horse Comics presents Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons: The Rise of Hellfire, a prequel comic series to Netflix’s Stranger Things Season 4 featuring fan-favorite character Eddie Munson! The four-issue miniseries is written by Jody Houser (Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons, Stranger Things: Tales From Hawkins) and Eric Campbell (Dungeons & Dragons Worlds & Realms, Frank Frazetta’s Dawn Attack), illustrated by Diego Galindo (Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons, Stranger Things: The Tomb of Ybwen), colored by Diana Sousa (Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins, Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins), and lettered by Nate Piekos (Stranger Things, Minor Threats). Issue #1 arrives in Winter 2025 and will feature variant cover art by Magali Villanueve, Rebecca Pueblar, Jeremy Wilson, Nimit Malavia, and Kyle Lambert, designer and illustrator of Stranger Things series key art.

“Jody Houser and Eric Campbell have expertly woven together two beloved IPs to spotlight Eddie Munson’s pure heart as he fosters the heroes in all those around him and celebrate how Dungeons and Dragons can strengthen the bonds of friendship,” said Senior Editor Spencer Cushing. “What better way to honor the 50th anniversary of a beloved game than through the nostalgic lens of Stranger Things?”

“As soon as I saw Stranger Things season 4, I knew the story of Eddie Munson and the Hellfire Club would be a perfect sequel to our Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons miniseries,” added Houser. “Both Eric and I are very familiar with how D&D forges friendships and storytellers, and it’s been wonderful exploring Hawkins through that lens.”
