About

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, Cerebus, so titled when Loubert misspelled Cerberus, the name of the mythical dog guarding Hades. The fanzine went unpublished.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. 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, 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.
