Rainbow Rowell was born on February 24, 1973, in the United States. She first gained widespread recognition as a novelist, with her young adult and adult contemporary books *Eleanor & Park*, *Fangirl*, and *Carry On* earning critical praise. In 2017, she brought her storytelling skills to comics as the writer of Marvel’s *Runaways* revival, and later took on *She-Hulk* from 2022 to 2024. Her comic work is known for its warm character focus and sharp dialogue, often exploring relationships and identity with a natural, understated touch.
