The company’s first release, Evil Ernie, debuted in
June 1993 with sales of 66,000 copies. From then on, there
was no turning back. Pulido and company dedicated themselves
to grabbing the “Dark Dollar”.
Pulido saw
that the supernatural had been ghettoized in comics and
other entertainment platforms and wanted to reverse the
trend. Pulido believed that top quality supernatural fiction,
combining a compelling synthesis of story, artwork and packaging,
would have mainstream appeal.

------------------
Chaos! Comics
(1993-2002) was a cutting edge publisher with its finger on the
pulse of the market place and an intuitive sense for what readers
of dark entertainment wanted. Chaos! consistently ranked as a
top ten comics publisher from 1995-2002 and was the number one
selling independent publisher of the 1990’s.
The company sprang from the vision of its founder, Brian Pulido.
Not seeing the comics he wanted to read, he decided to make them.
With no publishing experience whatsoever, Pulido laid down the
gauntlet. Scraping up less than one hundred and fifty dollars,
Chaos! Comics was formed in November 1992 in the kitchen of Pulido’s
600 sq. ft. studio apartment.

Chaos! also published
licensed comics by the WWF (Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock,
Undertaker, Mankind, Chyna), Insane Clown Posse, Megadeth, Static
X and comics based on the motion Pictures Halloween and Universal’s
The Mummy.
Chaos! also won 12 International printing awards, was nominated
by Diamond Comic Distribution as New Publisher of the Year in
1994, was nominated by Wizard Magazine as Publisher of the Year
in 1996 and earned the Comics Buyer's Guide Award for Customer
Service in 1997 and 1998.
