Dragon Ball Z
Viz Comics 1998 - Present ($2.95, B&W, Manga reprints read right to left)

Part 1 1 - 12.00
2-9 - 5.00
1-9 (second printing) - 3.00
Part 2 1-14 - 4.00
Part 3 1-10 - 3.00
Part 4 1-15 - 3.00
Part 5 1-10 - 3.00

So... they're not worth much. Most paper comics aren't worth much these days, anyway.

The DB ones are the same, except all Part 6 issues are worth 3.50.

Are they hard to find though?

I've been looking around for them online for a while and I haven't found any for sale, even on Ebay!

Another thought, as I was flipping through them, I think I prefer them in this format, if just for the higher resolution art. I mean, they were drawn for this size, weren't they? For Shonen Jump?

Sorry, kinda rambling now.

I own the first 4 volumes of DBZ like this. I always wanted to collect the rest. Too bad they never went through the whole series like this..or did they? Also, how bad is the editing in these?

I'm guessing if they had gone through the whole series, they wouldn't be done yet, or they would have finished within the last few years.

And from what I've read, they seem to be uncensored

Then it seems the Kanzenban or VIZBIG are your friends.

So, VizBig are actually larger? I thought they were just thick. . . I suppose it's time to go to the book store.

I don't actually know, as I don't own one. But I was making an assumption based on the product's title.

You are right, the Viz Big Editions are both thicker and have larger pages, it makes the art look much better because, as you said, it is the size format it was illustrated for.

Also: You can see the cover art and pre-order volume 2 here: http://www.aaaanime.com/item/Books/1421520656.html
