Denise "Deni" Loubert (born September 30, 1951)[1] is a Canadian comics publisher, co-founder of Aardvark-Vanaheim, and founder of Renegade Press. She is the ex-wife of Dave Sim, with whom she founded Aardvark-Vanaheim and published Cerebus from issues #1 to #77 (1977–1985).
Loubert and Sim met in 1976[2] and were married from October 6, 1978, to August 20, 1983.[3] The barbarian aardvark Cerebus was sketched initially by Sim as a mascot to accompany Loubert's proposed fanzine, Cerebus, so titled when Loubert misspelled Cerberus, the name of the mythical dog guarding Hades. (The fanzine went unpublished.)[2]
Aardvark-Vanaheim, managed by Loubert, began publishing other comics besides Cerebus, such as William Messner-Loebs' Journey and Bob Burden's Flaming Carrot. After Sim and Loubert's 1984 separation, Loubert started Renegade Press. Cerebus was the only title to remain at Aardvark-Vanaheim, with Renegade assuming publishing duties for most other titles. Renegade Press operated from 1984 to 1989.
Loubert's brother is Michael Loubert,[2] who designed the original map used as the basis of Cerebus's world, Estarcion. Michael Loubert also wrote "The Aardvarkian Age" columns that appeared in early issues of Cerebus.
