2020 Visions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 12-issue full-color maxi-series from 1997 to 1998 at the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics, it was collected in black-and-white as a single book graphic novel in 2005 by Speakeasy Comics.
- "William Burroughs-influenced squalor and grotesquerie [...] There are plenty of clever ideas here." – Publisher's Weekly
The series was four different stories of three issues each, each having its own artist, and each blending a different genre with prospective science-fiction:
- Lust For Life - horror-like (art by Frank Quitely)
- La Tormenta - crime-like (art by Warren Pleece)
- Renegade - western-like (art by James Romberger)
- Repro Man - romance-like (art by Steve Pugh)
Taking all place in the future world of the year 2020, the four stories were loosely connected by a genetic relationship between the main protagonist of each tale.
