'Stranger Things' is an original Netflix drama that has generated an immense fan base in just a short amount of time, which makes the many Stranger Things posters that are promoted by the 'Comback Kid' Tumblr page make sense.
The series, which stars Winona Ryder, Millie Brown, Charlie Heaton and many more takes its viewers back to a 1980s science fiction plot, following the investigation of a boy who mysteriously went missing. As the series makes use of unspecified supernatural occurrences, the Comeback Kid's Stranger Things posters show how differently its plot can be interpreted.
Many of the fan renditions take on vintage looks to honor the show's roots and a theme of the unknown is carried throughout each as well. This is depicted through the mirroring of two worlds in the Stranger Things posters, which show the characters searching for something that they simply don't have access to.
