By Seán Hogan. Self Published. 

Softcover, 88 pages, B&W, 2024. 

Part 1 of 2 of my new feature length graphic novel, launching December 2024.

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Brotherhood Part 1 is here!

In the rural, rolling hills of revolutionary Ireland, 4 teenagers engage in their own fight for freedom. Brotherhood is a darkly comedic tale of youthful rebellion set against the brutal backdrop of the Irish War of Independence.

Brotherhood Part 1 of 2 is an 88-page black and white graphic novel set during the violent Irish War of Independence. The book has a full-colour cover, contains 76 pages of story, and is intended for a mature audience. 

Macdara, a young Irish teen, is dragged into the raging Irish War of Independence when he is accidentally involved in the death of a British “Black and Tan” constable. To cover his tracks, he and his friends, Colm, Ciara, and Seamus, form the Brotherhood.

With a rich cast of characters, rural Irish setting, and sharp commentary on the myths of heroism and the cost of freedom, Brotherhood offers a fresh and original perspective on a pivotal moment in Irish history.
