Evil Ernie is the name of a comic book franchise, as well as the eponymous antagonist of the series "Evil" Ernie Fairchild. Ernie Fairchild was a young man gifted with the ability to perceive the thoughts of others, as well as the power of premonition. This, in addition to the abuse he suffered as a child, drove him to a psychotic state, wherein he ultimately murdered his parents. He was remanded to the care of a psycho-behaviorist named Doctor Leonard Price as well as a neurologist named Doctor Mary Young. Young devised a Neurotech device, which she believed could suspend Fairchild's abilities, but the machine ultimately exploded, killing Ernest Fairchild in the process. And that's when things got REALLY scary. The immortal goddess known as Lady Death, who had already established a link with Ernest via his dreams, used her power to resurrect him as an undead agent. In exchange for this, Ernest had but one task to perform on behalf of Lady Death - kill every single person on the planet Earth. Reborn as "Evil Ernie", Fairchild took to the task with great relish, assisted by hordes of zombies called the "Dead Onez".

Evil Ernie first appeared in his own comic book series in 1991 by Eternity Comics, which was an imprint of Malibu Graphics. Created by writer and artist Brian Pulido, he soon became the face of Pulido's own company, Chaos! Comics. After Chaos discontinued in 2002, the Evil Ernie property was purchased by Devil's Due Publishing.
