by Akira Toriyama It's one small step for Kuririn, Gohan, and Bulma ? one giant step for humankind!

Story and art by Akira Toriyama.

After a razor-close call, Son Goku and company triumphed in rescuing the Dragon Balls from Freeza's evil claws. Now they must go head to head with one seriously ticked-off alien overlord! What's worse, Freeza's got a trick up his sleeve. He has the power to transform--not once, not twice, but three times--and with each new hideous face comes a massive power increase! With Goku recovering from his fight with Captain Ginyu, the gang must band together and hold Freeza off as long as they can. But even with all their power combined, the odds are in Freeza's favor. As the battle rages on, defeating Freeza seems more and more impossible. The only hope lies in the one thing Freeza fears--the legend of the Super Saiyan!

Story and Art by Akira Toriyama. Piccolo, Gohan and Krillin go all out against Nappa, but are unable to do more than irritate the giant Saiyan super-soldier. After hearing that Goku is on the way to the battle, Vegeta calls a three-hour truce. If Goku shows up in that time, Vegeta and Nappa will see just how strong Earth's strongest hero might be. If Goku doesn't show up, too bad -- Vegeta and Nappa will just have to destroy the Earth without him! 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95.

2nd or higher printings. Cover price $2.95.

Story and Art by Akira Toriyama. With the mighty Kaio-ken amplifying his strength, Goku fights Vegeta in a desperate battle to save the world - only to find that the elite Saiyan warrior is even stronger than his new techniques. To break a temporary stalemate, Vegeta transforms into a giant ape, a King Kong who breathes energy blasts with the force of a nuclear bomb! In desperation, Goku calls upon the Genki-Dama, the "spirit bomb', drawing power from the Earth, its people, plants, and animals, in an effort to defeat his colossal foe. But alone, even Goku is not enough. The last worn-out survivors, Gohan, Kuririn, and cowardly Yajirobe, must rush back into the fray to stop their unstoppable foe... as the enraged Vegeta vows to not only wipe out the human race, but destroy the planet Earth itself! Cover price $2.95.

by Akira Toriyama To our heroes' horror, the tyrant Freeza reveals that he has two more forms to transform into, each more powerful than the last! And his second-to-last form is so powerful it can tear them apart remotely by just jabbing its fingers in the air! Desperate and terrified, Vegeta asks Kuririn to seriously wound him, in the hopes that, thanks to his Saiyan auto-evolving mechanism, when he regenerates from the damage he will be powerful enough to stand a chance! (CAUT: 3) NOTE: Not available outside North America, Puerto Rico, the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand. b&w, 48pg (4 of 12) $2.95 Cover price $2.95.
