Gray also worked on another epic father-son team, Batman and Robin. Mick Gray (Superman, Batman and Robin, Promethea) is a staple at San Francisco Bay Area conventions --- and so is his daughter, 15-year-old Genevieve, a talented musician and artist.

But the one rule she broke --- and was somehow able to get away with under her mother’s careful watch --- was reading a book after bedtime.

And be sure to check out her latest book, A CERTAIN AGE, when it releases on June 28th.
