Renowned worldwide for his playful, innovative storytelling and humorous, distinctive art style, Akira Toriyama burst onto the manga scene in 1980 with the wildly popular Dr. Slump. His hit series Dragon Ball (published in the U.S. as Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z) ran from 1984 to 1995 in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. He is also known for his design work on video games such as Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Tobal No. 1, and Blue Dragon. His recent manga works include COWA!, Kajika, Sand Land, Neko Majin, and a children's book, Toccio the Angel. He lives with his family in Japan.

This is now in the artistic hands of my 24-year-old gamer grandson. I knew when he opened this on his birthday, I had chosen wisely. The artistic history and beautifully graphic pictures elicited excitement. The book itself is of high quality and handsomely presented. Gorgeously illustrated. One of a kind gift.

This book is absolutely worth every penny spent on it! I just received it; and obviously didn’t go through it all yet, but the few pages I’ve looked at just gave me shivers every time. The book and its packaging are beautiful and the illustrations and comments inside amazing. Get ready to go down memory lane if, like me, you have been a fan for a couple decades now! Couldn’t be happier. Dragon Ball Forever! KA-ME-HA-ME-HAAAAAAAAA!!! (Admit it you read that slowly and heard the sound of it in your head at the “haaaaa”!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Cuidado con Amazon USA
Reviewed in Mexico on February 22, 2024
Verified Purchase
El libro esta genial, el problema es que la gran mayoría de los productos que son enviados por Amazon USA están pesimamente empacados y llegan maltratados debido a esto.

Actualización: Volví a pedirlo después del mal sabor de boca que me lleve con el primer pedido. El libro de gran calidad, un excelente ítem para los fans de Dragon Ball, si acaso un punto que puede ser considerado negativo es que es algo pequeño en cuanto a tamaño, pero para mi no afecta la calificación a este gran articulo.

5.0 out of 5 stars UM BELO ARTBOOK
Reviewed in Brazil on April 17, 2023
Verified Purchase
tenho coisas positivas e algumas negativas sobre esse livro.
primeiro, felizmente tem todas as artes que me importam da franquia pelas mãos de seu criador, do mangá, promocionais, capas, extras...

segundo, achei que algumas artes estariam tambem em tamanho grande mas foram diminuídas, deram mais importancia as capas da versão kanzenban, pra caber duas ou três numa pagina só, uma pena.

terceiro, o tamanho do artbook me deixou um pouco decepcionado, poderia ser um pouco maior, até valorizando as artes menores, digo isso porque os de one piece valorizam bastante as artes do Oda, e esse é o único de Dragon Ball, um capricho a mais não fazia mal.

quarto, a qualidade de impressão e do papel são ótimas, não dá medo de virar as páginas, e também tem uma boa abertura da espinha, com boa costura.

quinto, a caixa é muito simples, achava que seria mais rígida, mas infelizmente se não tomarmos cuidado amassa ou rasga fácil, o lado bom é que protege o que tem dentro, o seu objetivo original.

poderia ser melhor, poderia, mas no geral cumpriu com o objetivo, estou feliz de tê-lo adquirido, um dia talvez tenhamos uma reedição melhor ou mais completa, espero.

Recomendo a compra.

Non so da dove cominciare, volume unico, da veri collezionisti e amanti del maestro toriyama, il volume è custodito all interno di un cartonato molto curato con immagini di goku, il tutto è all'interno di una busta trasparente protettiva, a me è arrivato in ottime condizioni.
a mio avviso è davvero imperdibile per chi ama drago ball, posso dire solo bello, bello, bello!!
tanta cura dietro questo volume imperdibile.
me ne sono innamorata.
la spedizione è stata molto rapida considerando anche la sede dove giaceva.
