Draft
Released on April 9th, 1985.
This is the shocking scene where Shenron finally makes his first appearance! Since the magazine only featured two-color printing, this draft offers a rare opportunity to see it in the original colors. The aura emanating from Shenron's massive body as he surges towards the sky and the dynamic hand lettering heighten the impact of this powerful scene.
