Netflix to launch 'Stranger Things' comics with Dark Horse

Streaming giant Netflix is teaming up with Dark Horse to publish a line of comics based on its hit Original series "Stranger Things".

The first series of comics will come out in September this year.

The partnership is "a multi-year publishing line" that will give "Stranger Things" fans "an opportunity to explore the mysterious world of Hawkins, Indiana," according to Dark Horse.

"We are so excited to work with Netflix to bring the world of 'Stranger Things' to comics," Dark Horse President and Founder Mike Richardson said in a statement posted on the comic book publisher's official website.

The first series will explore the adventures of Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) after he was transported to the horrific extra-dimensional Upside Down at the beginning of season one.

Audiences only saw Will reappear in that season's finale when he was finally found by his mother Joyce (Winona Ryder), but a lot happened in between.

The four-issue "Stranger Things" comics, written by Jody Houser, illustrated by Stefano Martino, inked by Keith Champagne, coloured by Lauren Affe, and lettered by Nate Piekos, will give fans a look at what happened to Will in the Upside Down.

Created by Matt and Ross Duffer, the Netflix series also stars David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery and others.
