Line 65:
* In a ''[[Boys Life]]'' edition, a story appeared including a time machine. At one point, they had to confront a bad guy, but were concerned they didn't have enough people. Then someone got the idea to use the time machine to go back repeatedly to the same time and (roughly) same place, so that there would now be many copies of themselves and the time machine, and they could defeat the baddie. (Don't ask more details, I don't remember. It was from when I was a kid and I think I got each month's copy inscribed on a clay tablet.)
* In ''[[The Lost Years of Merlin|The Mirror of Merlin]]'', the titular character passes through a [[Magic Mirror]] where he meets an elderly Merlin tutoring a young [[King Arthur|Arthur]].
* The hero of [[Poul Anderson]]'s ''There Will Be Time'' once saved himself from bullies -- who were too unimaginative to think, "Time travel!" when suddenly there were a bunch of him fighting them. The hero of "Gibraltar Falls" got help from several of himself to rescue the woman he loved from an accident; that one was complicated by the fact that he had to keep an '''earlier''' self from seeing the rescue happen, because after all he '''hadn't''' seen any such thing.
