The Mick
Hard-boiled 1930s historical graphic novel about IRA Chief of Staff Sean Doyle and his violent, true-story mission in New York City.
📖 Red Handed Studios • Started 2014
The Mick is writer-artist Geoff Mosse’s debut original graphic novel—a hard-boiled, historically rooted crime saga published by Red Handed Studios in 2014. Based on a true story, it follows Sean Doyle, Chief of Staff of the Irish Republican Army in the late 1930s. With war tearing through Europe and the dream of an Irish Republic burning hot, Doyle lands in New York City to wage a campaign of physical force and propaganda against the British Empire—and walks straight into more trouble than any one man can count on.
What follows is a rough-edged, 98-page picaresque through the dark corners of 1930s New York: terrorists, gangsters, corrupt politicians, crooked cops, and Nazis. Mosse’s moody, hand-inked pages give the city a sweaty, candlelit menace that suits the era’s speakeasies and backroom deals. Perfect for fans of period gangster drama like Boardwalk Empire, the hard-boiled crime noir of 100 Bullets, and independent graphic novels that turn forgotten history into pulpy entertainment.
