A collection of stories illustrated by Argentine comics superstar Juan Giménez. The stories all fall under the same brand of eclectic sci-fi found in Jodorowsky's Metabarons, but they also don't really make much sense either. I was pulled into the grandiosity of the artwork here and just took the time to appreciate this as more of an art book than a collection of sci-fi comics. More ardent fans of Giménez might get more out of this than I did, but I really found the collection to be a tedious and uninspired read.

Great art, but only a few stories worth reading.

En mi humilde opinión el dibujo es descomunal y el guión flojisimo. Historias excesivamente cortas. Una o dos historias están interesantes y tienen un olorcito a Futuro Shock, pero las demás muy flojas. El tomito lo terminé en 20 minutos, termina sabiendo a poco.

I am a sucker for anything illustrated by Juan Gimenez. By reading A Matter of Time, I got a glimpse into his early work and how wonderfully he imagined this series of science fiction episodes. I don't mind the translation mistakes and typos, this is an absolute pulp favourite.

Qué gran cómic, una selección básica y rápida de interesantes cuentos de CF ilustrados de una forma magistral.

Uno de los primeros libros (1982) del argentino radicado en España Juan Gimenez. Es una recopilación de siete relatos cortos (ya habían aparecido en la mítica revista española ahora de culto "1984") y los primeros 6 estàn relacionados con el viaje en el tiempo. El último también tiene que ver con el paso del tiemp, aunque no hay viajes, saltos temporales ni paradojas.
La 6ª historia "Cronología" está dispible en YouTube, la videopublicaron como una historia aparecida en "1984" en el año 1983 bajo el título "Cuestión de Tiempo - Cronología" (si la quieren buscar, está bajo el nombre COMIC 1984 - PARA ADULTOS - 11 - volandoconalas.m2ts
