Solicitation[]

Ernest Fairchild was a kind, gentle soul... until one day something snapped, leading him to launch the most notorious killing spree in American history! What led an ordinary boy to become a leather-clad angel of death? How does he wield such blasphemous power? And what is the sinister secret behind the foul-mouthed, smiley-face button that incite's him to kill?

The founding fiend of Chaos! Comics is back, reinvented for a new generation! Collects Dynamite Entertainment's complete six-issue comic book storyline!

"Craig's visuals and some new twists to the mythos, makes this reboot of an old character seem fresh despite the fact that the main character is a decaying corpse." - AINT IT COOL

"Whether you're completely familiar with Evil Ernie or this is your first time, this is the place to find out who he is now. This isn't just a simple retelling of his origin as we're seeing some new elements and twists added to the character." - COMIC VINE

"I love horror movies, and Evil Ernie reads like one of the classics. If you're looking for a horror book that doesn't have the words 'walking' or 'dead' in the title, I highly recommend this title." - MAJOR SPOILERS
