[edit] Overview

Their titles include Lady Death, Purgatori, Evil Ernie, Chastity, Jade, Omen (Chaos comics), Bad Kitty, Cremator, Lady Demon, and Smiley The Psychotic Button.

They also published licensed comics for the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and several bands.

Chaos Comics filed bankruptcy in 2002 with all characters (save Lady Death) being sold off to Tales of Wonder. Prior to bankruptcy the rights to Lady Death were sold to Crossgen Comics. Prior to Crossgen's bankruptcy she was then sold to Brian Pulido & Avatar Press.

Recently Tales of Wonder licensed their Chaos properties to Devil's Due Publishing, making them essentially a DDP imprint. Under this arrangement, Chaos produced new series of Purgatori (monthly) & Evil Ernie (limited series) with Chastity book slated for eventual release.^{[citation needed]} However, Devil's Due cancelled the new titles due to low sales,^{[citation needed]} moving the Chaos properties back to limbo.

[edit] Doomsday

Doomsday was a one-off thrash metal album released in 1995 by the company. The album features a trio, originally from Van Nuys, California but who, at some time between 1995 and 1997, moved to Phoenix, Arizona, playing energetic bass heavy thrash. The CD was released in limited quantity to help promote the Lady Death and Evil Ernie comic franchises. The album cover features Evil Ernie beneath the Doomsday logo. The trio played at DragonCon '97, ^[1] but had little or no commercial success beyond this.
