Dr. Martin Brenner

Dr. Martin Brenner is the cold, calculating head of Hawkins Lab's secret government experiments on children with psychic abilities. His comic appearances expand on his role as the manipulative authority figure behind the Stranger Things universe's Hawkins Laboratory program.

Few figures in the Stranger Things comics universe carry as much quiet menace as Dr. Martin Brenner, who made his comic debut in Stranger Things: Six #1 in 2019, brought to the page by writer Jody Houser and artist Edgar Salazar for Dark Horse Comics. A Modern Age creation rooted in the rich mythology of the Stranger Things world, Brenner haunts the margins of Hawkins alongside iconic presences like Eleven and the Demogorgon. His appearances across Stranger Things: Six and Stranger Things: Tales from Hawkins 2 may be select, but for fans of the franchise's darker corners, tracking down his comics moments is absolutely worthwhile.
