    lord i remember this one . only ever seen her once in a comic book and it was the incredible hulk years ago when he tried to get a pardon for his past offenses.

    ya gotta laugh at the americans when it comes to racial sterotyping. this ones almost as bad as banshee and black tom (cause ,like, everyone in ireland either owns a castle or carries a sheleighly :D )

    we do? dang why am i the last to find out about everything!!

    I saw her only the once towards the end of the first run of excalibur [it was a triple digit issue number] but she was retired at that point so i didnt see the full SHAMROCK get up

    Oh I'm starting a letter writing campaign demanding the return of this fine character!

    On a more serious note, as far as I know Black Tom is actually Scottish and not Irish.

    ya know sinse banshee's died siryns inherited the family land which is half of mayo/galway. considering how much real estates going for now if i was her i'd chuck the superhero gig and flog it to some property developers for millions. now that would be representative of modern ireland :D

    Ha! I love how Brain Drain tried to manipulate Shamrock into assassinating "Ireland's President"... Can't imagine anything having a smaller impact than off-ing McAleese ;)

    There should be a superhero group made up of just these sort of people.

    "The League of Racial Stereotypes!!"

    Who else could we put in??

    Sounds like that would be Section 8 to me...


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,485 ✭✭✭Mr. K


    What an awesome costume she has though...


  • Registered Users Posts: 697 ✭✭✭the Shades


    Maybe we should all collaborate on a special unofficial Shamrock comic to celebrate Paddy's Day?

    No takers?


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Regional Abroad Moderators Posts: 11,045 Mod ✭✭✭✭Fysh


    That sounds like enough of a larf for me to contribute to it, actually....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 80 ✭✭Moogle


    Most of you probably know that Shamrock first appeared in Contest of the Champions.

    If you think she's a stereotype, take a look at that!!

    I'm a bit late for Paddys Day, but yeah, sounds like fun. Count me in

    Has anyone figured out how an online comic jam works? I was trying to figure it out on Paddy's Day but it baffled me and I was too lazy to decided if I really cared that much! :p
