About the series
A 29-issue Image series from 2021 to 2023, Time Before Time is a time-travel crime saga set in a world where the syndicate controlling the technology sends debtors to the past to work off their obligations. With a gritty, noir-infused tone and art by Declan Shalvey and Joe Palmer, the story follows a man who escapes into history to find his wife, only to become entangled in a violent, era-hopping chase. It matters as a tight, self-contained exploration of how far people will go to escape the systems that trap them.
