Demogorgon

The Demogorgon is the terrifying predator from the Upside Down—a dark dimension mirroring our world—that stalks Hawkins, Indiana, in the comic adaptation of the hit Netflix series Stranger Things. Its origins are as mysterious as the shadowy realm it calls home.

Straight from the Upside Down and onto the comics page, the Demogorgon made its Dark Horse debut in 2018 — the terrifying centerpiece of Jody Houser and Stefano Martino's Stranger Things #1 Ashcan — bringing the iconic creature from the beloved Netflix phenomenon into Modern Age sequential art. Across 34 catalogued appearances spanning titles like Stranger Things, Stranger Things: Kamchatka, and Stranger Things: The Voyage, this looming presence has haunted the same pages as Will Byers, Eleven, Mike Wheeler, Lucas Sinclair, and Dustin Henderson, making it the beating, monstrous heart of Dark Horse's expanding Stranger Things universe. For fans of the franchise and horror comics alike, the Demogorgon represents exactly the kind of chilling crossover that makes Modern Age tie-in comics worth hunting down.
