Eleanor and Park
Investigator

  When writing Eleanor and Park, Rainbow Rowell decided to use comic books as something that both Park and Eleanor would enjoy together. She originally got the idea to use comic books because when she was younger, there was a boy in her neighborhood that would read comics on the bus, like Park. She liked things such as X-Men and a different comic called Marshall Law. This is why she used comic books in her book.
