Comics Revue #3
"Iron Vic" by Bernard Dibble follows a baseball player who helps the pennant-winning Panthers overcome a five-game deficit behind the league-leading Bruins in a crucial series. When a mysterious new player with questionable origins appears on the Panthers' roster, Iron Vic's sudden offensive heroics—including a key two-out hit in a tied ninth-inning game—raise suspicions among his teammates and a veteran baseball writer about the legitimacy of his performance. As the Panthers continue their improbable comeback, the story explores the tension between Vic's undeniable contributions to the team's success and the growing questions about whether he truly belongs in the game.
