Evil Ernie: Youth Gone Wild collects the first full Chaos! Comics storyline that launched the “Chaos! universe.” Ernest Fairchild, a severely abused and mentally unstable teenager, is transformed into the undead killing machine known as Evil Ernie after a sinister encounter with Lady Death. Driven by her whispers and his own thirst for vengeance, he unleashes a campaign of slaughter against the world, raising legions of zombies in his wake. The story introduces Lady Death as both muse and manipulator, establishing the apocalyptic tone that would define Chaos! Comics. Blending horror, dark humor, and heavy-metal attitude, Youth Gone Wild sets the foundation for Evil Ernie’s ongoing war against humanity.
