Along with the release of the DB Kanzenban volumes in Japan, a renewed interest in DragonBall arrived. New video games, new DVD boxsets... it's huge, again! Now, amongst the usual "comics news" and various other ads one finds tucked inside Japanese manga volumes, every other kanzenban volume also came with a brochure that you might actually throw away, if you didn't know what it contained. Each of these pamphlets featured an image of the DragonBall world, as seen through the eyes of current hugely-popular manga artists in Japan, along with an article where they related how Akira Toriyama has influenced them and been an inspiration. Some of these illustrations are extremely cool-looking, while others are downright disturbing!

Although some (not all!) of these images were later reprinted in the companion books DragonBall Landmark and DragonBall Forever, these scans are taken directly from the original "DragonBall Information" brochures. Enjoy!
