History
Chaos was founded in 1994 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Writer Brian Pulido was the company's president.
The company dealt with a copyright infringement accusation in 1997, when horror writer Nancy A. Collins claimed they'd based the Chastity character and storyline on her character Sonja Blue.
Chaos Comics filed bankruptcy in late 2002, with all characters (save Lady Death) being sold off to Tales of Wonder. Prior to the bankruptcy, rights to Lady Death were sold to Crossgen Comics; prior to Crossgen's bankruptcy those rights were then sold to Brian Pulido and Avatar Press.
Tales of Wonder later licensed their Chaos properties to Devil's Due Publishing, making them essentially a DDP imprint. Under this arrangement, Chaos produced a new monthly series of Purgatori & (limited series) of Evil Ernie with a Chastity book that was scheduled for eventual release. However, Devil's Due cancelled the new titles due to low sales, moving the Chaos properties back to limbo.
Dynamite Entertainment acquired all of the Chaos! Comics library and intellectual property assets, except Lady Death.
