A Story by Abishai100

A female Irish comic book artist pens an inventive female superheroine who works in Northern Ireland to bring revolutionary reforms for the dumbfounded Catholic minority.

Here's a comics-fanfare vignette as a sign-off piece to lighten the load of the series of recent short-stories I've posted about the deep vertigo of new age Irish politics and troubles. Thanks for reading (signing off),

Shelbye Collins sat in front of her computer all day long in Dublin (Ireland) wondering what to do to help the Irish Catholic minority in Belfast (Northern Ireland) who were struggling while seeking to live side-by-side with the British Protestant majority. The troubles between British Protestants and Irish Catholics in Northern Ireland comprised the major keynote of modern warfare and strife and terrorism between the IRA (Irish Republican Army) and British police and government. Shelbye Collins, an Irish-Catholic and patriot, wanted to contribute something to this discussion and social mission by blogging on the Internet.

Shelbye was an attractive young woman who was college educated and fascinated by Irish culture and history. She was a fan of Irish patriotic comic books depicting great social revolutionaries such as Michael Collins who affected deep change for the Irish and helped obtain degrees of independence from unpopular British rule in the 20th Century. Shelbye wanted to use her time to help the Irish Catholic minority in Northern Ireland and hence feel more 'human' about these lifestyle deformities.

Shelbye was a terrific amateur/private comic book writer and artist and decided to pen an original comic book superheroine modeled after an iconic DC Comics character in North America. Shelbye penned an Irish Catholic crusader named Green Hornet Siren who'd work with the IRA and Sinn Fein (the legal and political arm of the IRA) to bring relief to the Irish Catholic minority living in Belfast. The Green Hornet Siren appeared in numerous comics-blogs Shelbye Collins made from her home in Dublin (Ireland) featuring stories about the 'superheroine' tackling modern political turmoil and strife between Protestants and Catholics.

Shelbye's blogs caught the attention of an underground comic book artist and distributor named Ajay Satan who decided to combine Green Hornet Siren storyboards he read on Shelbye's blogs with Green Arrow (DC Comics) club comics stories on the Internet. Suddenly, Green Hornet Siren, a nightingale of the modern IRA and Sinn Fein, became a newfound ally of the popular Green Arrow superhero. Shelbye and Ajay began dating after he decided to travel to Dublin to work on these patriotic comic book blogs with her. Ajay was a very serious blogger.

Ajay decided to create a series of Green Arrow characters, customized to resemble himself, which paired nicely with the Green Hornet Siren drawings and artwork Shelbye Collins provided which resembled herself! Shelbye and Ajay made the Green Hornet Siren and Green Arrow pairing a terrific comics-blog series about the patriotism and complexity of new age European politics between Sinn Fein and Parliament. These Siren-Arrow storyboards were meant to create more underground interest in Sinn Fein politics and why Sinn Fein leaders such as Gerry Adams worked to someday bring a complete end to the demand for any kind of IRA.

Because the terrible troubles between British Protestants and Irish Catholics in Belfast (Northern Ireland) resulted in so much street violence and anarchy, the Siren-Arrow comics-blogs of Shelbye and Ajay became an instant media sensation for comic book fans of political storyboarding. This was the Irish rendition of Captain America. Shelbye and Ajay were featured in an Irish politics article on National Geographic.

However, reactionary events happened when loyalists of the Orangemen of Normans decided to parade in Northern Ireland as a protest to the marketing of these pro-Irish Siren-Arrow comics-blogs. The Orangemen were advocates of British Protestant domination and feared the sociopolitical impact of incendiary folklore and storytelling in modern media regarding Sinn Fein, the IRA, and Parliament. This Orangemen parade created new forms of media intrigue. Shelbye/Ajay wondered if such hype would be positive for their brand of pedestrian art.

Irish folk tales about rebellion had lingered among the people of Ireland for centuries, just as had reactions to undesirable colonialism and British rule. Now, in the 21st Century, the Siren-Arrow comics-blogs on the Internet spotlighted the enduring legacy of Irish interests in political storytelling integrated with everyday life in Northern Ireland! That's why Shelbye/Ajay were featured in an article on National Geographic. This was politics wed to Irish mysticism.

Shelbye Collins' Green Hornet Siren comic book superheroine stories and blogs on the Internet became a huge sensation among young women in Dublin. These women then networked online with female students in America, from Radcliffe and Swarthmore and Oberlin to form a female comic book fan-club alliance. This fan-club spotlighted the contributions to real-world politics made by Shelbye Collins and her daring Green Hornet Siren character in Northern Ireland.

Street and folk art regarding Irish politics abounded in Belfast, and people were wary of too much trouble, but the Green Hornet Siren character proved to be a positive complement to modern street art and graffiti depicting the Irish people's concern that basic religious sovereignty and culture were being threatened everyday by uncomfortable levels of Protestant supervision.

The reactionary urban street graffiti depicting the Irish people's interest in IRA activity therefore represented both a folk sensitivity and a social frailty regarding fragile peace and the looming threat of terrorism and myopia.

Street parades featuring Irish Catholic minorities in Belfast (Northern Ireland) had gone on for years in the 20th Century following the partition of Ireland because of a controversial treaty between the IRA and Parliament. These pro-IRA street parades signified a folk interest in reforming basic social governance in Northern Ireland regardless of the media cost. However, people in the modern age of media wanted to know how art and education would bring Belfast greater doses of needed inspiration!

Shelbye and Ajay meanwhile continued blogging their creative and ingenious patriotic comics-blogs about Siren-Arrow engaged in various pro-democratic urban crusades in Northern Ireland meant to bring sociocultural/political peace between Protestants and Catholics. After all, inter-religious cooperation spelled true beauty in the age of globalization/media. Therefore, these comics-blogs continued to wow fans of political art in the Internet underground!
