Weekly Shonen Jump 1989 No. 29
Dragon Ball Title Page

Released on June 20th, 1989.

Here we see Goku and Gohan making their way through a jungle, which raises the question of whether Gohan is being picked up or dropped off. When talking about this illustration, Toriyama said, "Girls may not like it, but since I love reptiles and dinosaurs, I tend to draw lots of pictures like this one." The dinosaur's expression is also adorable, as if he's sweating as he rushes. It really conveys Toriyama's love of dinosaurs.
