Time Periods

Time Patrol 1

Time Patrol

by Poul Anderson
In the first of a long series of hallowed stories, former military engineer (and noncomformist) Manse Everard is recruited by the Time Patrol to prevent time travelers from making major changes to history. (Don’t worry, history bounces back from the small stuff.)
— Michael Main
If you went back to, I would guess, 1946, and worked to prevent your parents’ marriage in 1947, you would still have existed in that year; you would not go out of existence just because you had influenced events. The same would apply even if you had only been in 1946 one microsecond before shooting the man who would otherwise have become your father.
“Time Patrol” by Poul Anderson, Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, May 1955.

Unusual Tales #3

The Lodestone

by Joe Gill [?] and Ernie Bach
Businessman Burt Carpe and his scientist sidekick Jeff struggle with coming up with a plan to make money from their time machine. In the end, they take a large lump of carbon back to an unspecified ice age a few million years in the past. Can you guess why?
— Michael Main
There she is, my cyclo-metronome, a real live time-machine!
“The Lodestone” by Joe Gill [?] and Ernie Bach, Unusual Tales #3 (Charlton Comics, April 1956).

Time Patrol 3

Gibraltar Falls

by Poul Anderson
As part of an crew assigned to crew to observe the filling of the Mediterranean from the Atlantic in the late Micene, Patrolman Tom Nomura breaks the rules to use time travel to rescue Feliz a Rach when she’s swept over the falls.
— Michael Main
The Mediterranean floor lay ten thousand feet below sea level. The inflow took most of that drop within a fifty-mile strait. Its volume amounted to ten thousand cubic miles a year, a hundred Victoria Falls or a thousand Niagaras.
“Gibraltar Falls” by Poul Anderson, in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, October 1975.

The Treehouse #5

The 65-Storey Treehouse

by Andy Griffiths (story) and Terry Denton (art)
Each installment of Andy and Terry’s Treehouse series sees the house grow upward, but what if the house never had a proper building permit? No problem, if you’ve got a time machine in a wheelie trash bin! Caution: Important detours along the way may be necessary to save antkind and The Time Machine.
— Michael Main
“Don’t you see?” says Terry. “We’ll just travel back in time and get a permit for the treehouse.”
The 65-Storey Treehouse by Andy Griffiths (story) and Terry Denton (art) (Macmillan Australia, August 2015).
