Reception
Comic book artist Juan Sasturain considers the comic a breakthrough in the genre. It was the first important joint work by Breccia and Oesterheld, the first episode was the best comic that Breccia made up to that point, and Oesterheld explored genres that he had not worked with previously. Sasturain considers that, with its mixture of horror and science fiction, Sherlock Time was unlike any other comic produced before.[1]
