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 European School of Visual Arts, he began work "preoccupied with evil and frailty as viewed through the lives of demons and mythological creatures."[1]

His 1996 novel, Les sœurs Zabîme, is about children in Guadeloupe and considered a "small masterpiece."[1] It was his final completed work.

In school he had been told, "Everything was already explored in painting, everything was already done. The future lies in comics."[2]
