Volume 2 - 2nd and later printings. Collects Dragon Ball: Part 1 (1998) #7-12. Story and art by Akira Toriyama. Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z are some of the most popular manga in the world. Printed in the original right-to-left manga format, this series by acclaimed manga artist Akira Toriyama redefined martial arts comics throughout its original Japanese run in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 1984 to 1995. Son Goku, a super-strong boy with a monkey's tail, had never left his mountain home...until he met Bulma, a girl from the city, who invited him on her quest for the magic Dragon Balls that can grant any wish. Soon, Goku's natural inclination for martial arts led him to seek out the world's greatest trainers and tournaments, fighting bad guys and making friends around the world! The prequel to Dragon Ball Z combines adventure, fantasy and slapstick comedy with the skill of a master cartoonist. Softcover, 5-in. x 7 1/2-in., 200 pages, B&W.
