DRAGON BALL CHOGASHU -SUPER ART COLLECTION- JAPANESE EDITION

At its core, this book is an update and expansion of the first Daizenshuu volume, released in 1995: it contains all the illustrations from Daizenshuu 1, plus a number of items that fell through the cracks and were later published in Daizenshuu 7, as well as the vast majority of Toriyama’s Dragon Ball-related work since 1995. It contains the original “Akira Toriyama Super Interview” from Daizenshuu 1 alongside a new Q&A session, as well as a single, JIS B4-sized poster featuring Toriyama’s personal favorite Dragon Ball illustration (Goku and Gohan on a two-legged motorbike, originally drawn as a bonus poster in a 1990 issue of Weekly Jump), and on the reverse, a listing of all Jump issues that featured Dragon Ball over the course of the series’ run. In these respects, it is essentially identical to the Chōzenshū book series, which it came out alongside, but what sets it apart is its presentation.
