Coming from “one of the country’s hottest young cartoonists” (People), Robb Armstrong’s Jump Start is the most widely syndicated daily comic strip by an African American in history. Appearing in more than 300 newspapers in eight countries, it is currently being adapted into a FOX television sitcom. A Philadelphia native, Armstrong is the recipient of an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Holy Family University. In Fearless, Armstrong weaves personal stories of a traumatic childhood and the transcendent power of art together with drawing tutorials and original illustrations in a compelling guide to living through the good times and the bad.
