SEVEN AGAINST THE HOUSE

A Graphic Novel by John Mulholland
Based on his stage play

“A bomb is a blunt instrument. So is betrayal.”

On a frigid February morning in New York City, seven antiwar radicals gather in a dingy Lower East Side apartment. Their target: the department stores of America’s capitalist heart. Their weapon: homemade explosives. Their motive: vengeance for Vietnam.

But before the first bomb is planted, a tape recorder is found hidden beneath the table. Someone in the room is an informant. As suspicion ignites and alliances fray, the plan begins to unravel. Old loyalties dissolve into paranoia, and revolutionary fervor gives way to deadly calculation.

Led by the steely Miller and challenged by the firebrand Midge, the group fractures under the pressure of compromised trust. What begins as a coordinated strike turns into a psychological siege—where ideology clashes with instinct, and no one is safe from accusation… or execution.

Part Dog Day Afternoon, part Judas and the Black Messiah, SEVEN AGAINST THE HOUSE is a claustrophobic thriller of radical politics, betrayal, and the thin line between conviction and fanaticism. In bold, gritty visuals, John Mulholland’s graphic novel adaptation thrusts readers into the feverish last hours of a failed revolution—and the high-stakes mind games that may burn it all down.

Trust no one. Choose a side. Pray you’re right.
