Dark Horse Comics Unveils New Stranger Things Prequel Comic

As reported by EW, Stranger Things: Six is a four-issue prequel story once again centered around the MKUltra program. This time, it will tell the story of one of Eleven's predecessors within the program, Six, also known by her real name of Francine.

After a lifetime of exploitation, Francine's powers show her a different path that might change her life.

This new comic series is written by Jody Houser and is drawn by Edgar Salazar. The first issue will arrive on May 29th and a total of three variant covers have been revealed by EW, with art by Aleksi Bricolt, Kyle Lambert, and David Mack. You can take a look at those below.
