History

Loubert was publisher of Aardvark-Vanaheim until she and husband Dave Sim (owner and major contributor to Aardvark-Vanaheim) divorced, at which point she started Renegade and moved to the United States. With the move, all of Aardvark-Vanaheim's titles (with the exception of Cerebus) left that publisher to continue with Renegade. (These included Flaming Carrot Comics, normalman, Neil the Horse, and Ms. Tree.)

Although Renegade started in high-profile fashion, its titles suffered from low print runs.[1] In early 1988, Renegade refit its publishing strategy,[2] but suspended all publications later that year. In July 1989 it was announced that the publisher had shut down for good.[3]
