Will Byers

Will Byers is the central figure of the Stranger Things comic adaptation published by Dark Horse, based on the Netflix series. A young boy from Hawkins, Indiana, his mysterious disappearance into a supernatural dimension known as the Upside Down sets the entire story in motion.

Will Byers carries the eerie heart of Hawkins, Indiana straight from screen to page, making his comics debut in 2018 courtesy of creators Jody Houser and Stefano Martino in Dark Horse's Stranger Things — one of the Modern Age's most beloved licensed adaptations. Across 38 catalog appearances spanning titles as inventive as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles X Stranger Things and a delightful Stranger Things / D&D Crossover, he's proven himself a remarkably versatile presence in comics form. He shares his adventures with the full gang — Mike Wheeler, Lucas Sinclair, Dustin Henderson, and Eleven — plus the ever-terrifying Demogorgon lurking at the edges. If you love the world of Stranger Things and want to explore it beyond the screen, Will's comics journey is exactly where to start.
