Deni (Denise) Loubert (born September 30, 1951) 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 and were married from October 6, 1978 to August 20, 1983.
The barbarian aardvark Cerebus was sketched initially by Sim as a mascot to accompany Loubert's proposed fanzine, Cerberus, a title which Deni famously misspelled.
(The fanzine went unpublished.)Aardvark-Vanaheim, managed by Loubert, began publishing other comics besides Cerebus, such as William Messner-Loebs' Journey and Bob Burden's Flaming Carrot.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, which assumed publishing duties for all non-Cerebus Aardvark-Vanaheim titles.
Renegade Press operated from 1984 to 1989. Loubert's brother is Michael Loubert, 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.
