Bird Land Press
November 1984 Edition
Front Cover

Released in 1984.

Shortly following the initial publication of Dragon Ball, a newly drawn illustration of Goku was featured on the front cover of the Akira Toriyama Preservation Society newsletter. Accompanying him is Kintoun, which had not yet been introduced in Dragon Ball at the time, but Toriyama had already planned to incorporate it into the story, so he chose to depict them together. The pages of this newsletter include everything from drafts to the final manuscript, making it a must-have for any fan of the series!
