Aristophane
Firmin Aristophane Boulon (published as Aristophane, the French name of Aristophanes) was a Guadeloupe-born cartoonist. A graduate of the French schools École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts and the European School of Visual Arts, he began work "preoccupied with evil and frailty as viewed through the lives of demons and mythological creatures."His first work to receive attention was his 300-page graphic novel ''Conté Demoniaque'' ("Demonic Tale"): an epic set in hell inspired by Dante's ''Inferno'', ''Paradise Lost'', the philosophy of Max Stirner and the artist Gustave Doré. 50 of its pages were exhibited in the "Angels and Demons" during the 1994 Angoulême comics festival in the Centre National de la Bande Dessinée et de l’Image.
Sometime during 1998 Aristophane suffered a domestic accident that left him severely burned on the face and hands, he was hospitalised in Nantes. Following this accident he burned all the original art of his breakthrough work Conté Demoniaque and Faune, which he considered blasphemous after converting to Hinduism. His last published work during his lifetime was the story "La Sentinelle" ("The Sentinel") in ''Ego Comme X'' no. 6 in 1999.
His 1996 graphic novel, ''Les sœurs Zabîme'', is about children in Guadeloupe and considered a "small masterpiece." It was his final completed major work.
In school he had been told, "In painting, everything has been explored. The future belongs to comics." Provided by Wikipedia
