Back graphic novel covers

Does anybody know if there's a scan or anything of Viz's back graphic novel covers? Not the smaller, newer ones they have now, but the bigger older ones.

Any volume in particular? I could scan it for you as I have the old Viz DB 1 - 9 and DBZ 1 - 10.

Well, daizEX has all the front covers of the original DBZ Viz releases. Just scroll down until you see "American Tankôbon (Original Larger Printings)".

Oh wait, when you said "back" I thought you meant the actual back cover..

Yeah, that's what I mean. The back side. Some of them have interesting little tidbits and reviews on the back and other stuff and I want to see what they all are.

I have a few questions of my own about the subject.

How far did the older versions go into DragonBall? The first ten volumes?

Why did they stop printing the bigger versions?

Are they cencored?

If I were to go to my bookstore, can I order these older volumes? Do they include anything extra with them, or are they just on larger paper?

Last I can recall, you can get them at libraries, but I do not think you can order the older ones. I believe they were not as cencored...but I'm not 100% positive, ごめん。

Yeah, Viz wasn't really censoring anything until their re-releases (the infamous Bulma bra, the H-word, etc). Viz released ten volumes of each series (10 of DB and 10 of DBZ). You can get them from eBay, amazon, etc if you look hard enough. And lastly, I'm pretty sure Viz changed its format so the volumes would be cheaper. I somewhat remember there being a question like "do you like our new format?" in those insert questionnaires in the volumes.

Actually I do have a question regarding the back

I'm wondering, are the titles on the back the actual graphic titles? I do remember from reading some of Julian's stuff on the site, that the tankobon (sp?) have names (Stuff like 'Super Gotenks to the Rescue! or something). Are the ones on the back of the translated manga the same?

I doubt the images are, considering Volume 1 has a new-style image of Super Saiyan Goku

Some of them were censored. I remember the whole news report I watched with an angry mom, news showing panels of Goku's fun zone and blurring it out. These were the good ol comic releases.
