(from Five Female Publishers Who Changed Comics posted at Nerdophiles, 4 May 2017)
As a small press publisher and owner of the company Bedside Press and as a comics historian, the intersection of publishing industry and comics is fascinating to me. I was delighted and thrilled as I went into the rabbit hole of research to consistently see female leaders in publishing companies throughout the decades. These women are dedicated, driven, and were completely committed to pushing innovative boundaries in comic book publishing. They're an inspiration to everyone who works in comics...
Deni Loubert: Aardvark-Vanaheim / Renegade Press (1977-1989)Publishing in Canada is hard. With a sparse population base and increased cost of materials, relatively few comic publishers have been able to be successful in Canada. Any that have must be particularly notable, and Deni Loubert’s work is definitely among them. Starting off in science fiction fandom, Deni was eager to publish her zine Cerebus when she met a cartoonist named Dave Sim. Together they formed the publishing company Aardvark-Vanaheim, whose first project was Sim's new comic Cerebus, named for Deni’s zine. Deni took the reins of the publishing company, forming printing connections, and distribution relationships with the newly created comic shop market across the country, and into America. Soon, they added new titles to their publisher, such as the gritty crime drama Ms. Tree and the energetic Neil the Horse. When Deni left Aardvark-Vanaheim, many titles followed her to her new company Renegade Press until they closed due to low sales in the late 1980s, along with many other small press publishers.
Hope Nicholson is the owner of Winnipeg comics publisher Bedside Press and a comic book historian. Her new book "The Spectacular Sisterhood Of Superwomen" is out now from Quirk Books.
Deni Loubert was Aardvark-Vanaheim's publisher for the first 70 issues of Cerebus. Deni and Dave Sim were married between 1978 and 1983. After their divorce, Deni moved to Los Angeles to start her own comics publishing company, Renegade Press, which closed its doors in 1989. She was inducted into the Joe Shuster Hall of Fame in 2010.
