Aardvark-Vanaheim is a Canadianindependentcomic book publisher founded in 1977 byDave Sim andDeni Loubert and is best known for publishing Sim'sCerebus.^[1]

For a brief time, the company also published other titles, sometimes under the nameAardvark One International. This was mainly in the early 1980s, and most of these titles moved to Deni Loubert's new company,Renegade Press. Since the 1980s the majority of titles published by the company were related toCerebus, although since the final issue ofCerebus was published, A-V has gone on to publish other works by Sim, includingglamourpuss.^[2]

In July 1984, Aardvark-Vanaheim was threatened with possible legal action byMarvel Comics over a parody of Marvel'sWolverine character inCerebus.^[3]
