Caught your attention with that title, eh? However, it's not entirely untrue; you may not physically be able to travel through time, but you can mentally. Case in point: when I look at the accompanying cover from 44 years ago, or - even better, thumb through the actual comic - I find my mind transported back to the month of April, in the year of our Lord, 1967. To such an extent, in fact, that it's almost as if I'm back in the house I lived in at that time; that shops which are no longer around today still exist; that friends who have since died are merely a 'phone call away. So immersed in halcyon days of yesteryear do I become that, when I look up from the comic's pages and find myself in the house I live in today, I'm almost momentarily surprised by the fact. Anyone else ever feel the same, or am I just bonkers?
Okay, okay. I'm just bonkers then. It wouldn't have hurt for you to lie, would it?
