2020 Visions (sometimes called 20/20 Visions) is a science fiction comic book written by Jamie Delano and drawn by four artists. Originally serialized as a twelve-issue full-color limited series from 1997 to 1998 at the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics, it was later collected in black-and-white in a 2004 hardcover by Cyberosia Publishing and a 2005 trade paperback by Speakeasy Comics. A new edition of the trade paperback was released in color in 2019 by ComicMix.[1]
The series consists of four different stories told over three issue arcs, each having its own artist, and each blending a different genre with prospective science-fiction:
- "Lust For Life" - horror-like (art by Frank Quitely, covers by John Eder)
- "La Tormenta" - crime-like (art by Warren Pleece, covers by John Eder)
- "Renegade" - western-like (art by James Romberger, covers by Stephen John Phillips)
- "Repro Man" - romance-like (art by Steve Pugh, covers by Stephen John Phillips)
With all stories taking place in the year 2020, they are all loosely connected by a genetic relationship between the main protagonist of each tale.
