Stranger Things is not only about 80’s rock, D&D, high school heartbreak, or even monsters from another dimension. It is about brave kids standing up for what they believe in and fighting for their friends and family no matter what. This hardcover collection brings together two stories about just that.

Tomb of Ybwen is set in January 1985, after the Hawkins crew survived a battle with the Mind Flayer. Will and Joyce are reeling from Bob Newby’s death. Will’s friends have been too busy with their girlfriends to notice him struggling. After Mr. Clarke and Will discover an odd map Bob left in a box of A.V. club memorabilia, Will rallies the gang to investigate—but with a blizzard coming, they’re afraid to follow. But when Will takes off into the freezing wilds alone they rush to stop him and just as they catch up, they discover that Bob’s map may lead to a real hidden treasure and that turning back is no longer an option.

In Kamchatka a Soviet scientist is abducted to work on a top-secret project, and is quickly face-to-face with the Kremlin’s new ultimate weapon—a Demogorgon! What his top-secret captors didn’t count on was the resiliency of his kids. While their father has been dragooned into weaponizing a monster, the two young teens are forced to embark on a harrowing and perilous journey to find him, with help from an unlikely ally: an old but still extremely deadly retired KGB agent with a good heart and a vendetta.

Collects Stranger Things: Tomb of Ybwen #1–#4 and Stranger Things: Kamchatka #1–#4.
