Jonathan Byers

Jonathan Byers is the brooding, camera-loving older brother of Will Byers in Hawkins, Indiana. Thoughtful and protective by nature, he navigates the supernatural dangers threatening his town and younger brother alongside Will, Eleven, and their circle of friends.

Jonathan Byers brings the brooding, camera-wielding older brother of Hawkins to the comics page, making his debut in Stranger Things #4 in 2019 under the careful hands of writer Jody Houser and artist Stefano Martino. A Modern Age arrival from Dark Horse Comics, he shares these supernatural adventures with some of the most beloved young characters in the franchise — Will Byers, Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair, and Eleven. His appearances span from the main Stranger Things series through special Free Comic Book Day issues in 2022 and 2024, making him a recurring presence for fans eager to see Hawkins' world expanded on the printed page.
