History

Chaos was founded in 1994 in Scottsdale, Arizona, and published its first title that same year. 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 comic retailer Tales of Wonder, who sold the rights to Devil's Due Publishing. After the demise of Devil's Due Publishing, the rights to the Chaos! Comics characters went to Dynamite Entertainment.
