Ile Gonzalez illustrated her first comic strip while in
kindergarten, and grew up to study fashion design in college.
Deciding that graphic storytelling was her first true love, she
refocused her creative effort and landed her first paid work at the
digital storytelling company Madefire, working exclusively for them
to co-create their popular middle-grade series The Heroes Club.
Super Sons is her first graphic novel, and her first project for
DC.
