Max Mayfield

Max Mayfield is a character adapted from the Netflix series Stranger Things, a tough, skateboard-riding newcomer who joins the young heroes of Hawkins, Indiana in facing supernatural threats from the Upside Down.

Max Mayfield leapt from screen to page in 2020, making her comic debut in a Free Comic Book Day all-ages special crafted by Greg Pak and Gabriella Antali — a fitting introduction for a character who's become a genuine fan favorite. A Modern Age creation, she's been a steady presence across IDW's Stranger Things universe right through the mid-2020s, racking up appearances across titles as eclectic as Stranger Things, a Dungeons & Dragons crossover, and the delightfully unexpected Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles X Stranger Things. She shares her adventures with the beloved Hawkins crew — Mike Wheeler, Lucas Sinclair, Dustin Henderson, Eleven, and Will Byers — making her part of one of comics' most charming ensemble casts. With 17 catalog appearances and a presence that spans crossover events and standalone stories alike, Max is absolutely worth tracking down for any fan who wants the full picture of IDW's Stranger Things saga.
