Steve Harrington

Steve Harrington is a fan-favorite character from the Stranger Things television series, translated to comics through Dark Horse's licensed adaptations. A resident of Hawkins, Indiana, Steve evolves from a popular high-schooler into an unlikely protector of the younger kids facing supernatural threats.

Few characters bridge the gap between pop-culture phenomenon and printed page quite like Steve Harrington, who made his comics debut in Dark Horse's Free Comic Book Day 2019: General — a Modern Age arrival crafted by the talented trio of Jeff Lemire, Ray Fawkes, and David Rubín. Translated from screen to panel, Steve keeps exceptional company in the Dark Horse Stranger Things universe, sharing adventures with Eleven, Dustin Henderson, Mike Wheeler, Lucas Sinclair, and Will Byers across titles like Stranger Things: Science Camp and multiple Free Comic Book Day specials. With appearances stretching from 2019 into 2025 and a presence at not one but two FCBD events, he's clearly a cornerstone of Dark Horse's Stranger Things line — a character whose fanbase made the leap from binge-watching to back-issue hunting without missing a beat.
