Dr. Brenner

Dr. Brenner is the calculating head of Hawkins Lab's secret government program, who subjects psychically gifted children — including Eleven and Six — to experiments designed to develop and weaponize their supernatural abilities.

Few figures in the Stranger Things comics universe carry quite the weight of Dr. Brenner, who stepped onto the page in 2019 courtesy of writer Jody Houser and artist Edgar Salazar in Dark Horse's Stranger Things: Six. A Modern Age creation rooted in the chilling mythology of the hit franchise, this character haunts the pages of both Six and Into the Fire, sharing space with the likes of Eleven and the Demogorgon — company that tells you everything about the dark, high-stakes corners of this world. With only five catalog appearances, Dr. Brenner remains a rare and pointed presence, the kind of figure whose scarcity only sharpens their significance for dedicated collectors of Dark Horse's Stranger Things line.
