This issue of V Jump has the apperance of Toriyama sensei's character Takkusan!


The blue bar on the side of the page:
今月は鳥山明先生作品のスクープ満載!!
This month is loaded with scoops of Akira Toriyama sensei's works!!


I think that's all of what you wanted. That's about all that was important on the page. Is Takkusan a new Dragon Quest character? Or something else entirely?
Thank you very much!

I suppose that Takkusan is indeed the blonde kid from the new Dragon Quest arcade, though I cannot find any introduction or appearance in other than the scanned pages. Also, it might be not because it's a -san... wouldn't a kid character be a -chan/-kun?
"Takkusan" isn't a character, mrkaizoku just read it wrong. It says that Toriyama's characters appear a lot in this issue.

Can someone summarize the bonus pages? The ones with the chibi alternate Ginyu Force? Who are they (names are at the top when they pose), and what is their mock-relation to the real Ginyu Force/Dragonworld?

Also, does it say who wrote and drew it?

They are the オニュー特選隊(Oh New Tokusentai)

Their names starting with the top left and working the way down are スクープ(Scoop) データ(Data) クルゾ(Kuruzo not sure what that one is supposed to mean) ニュース(News) and オニュー隊長(Commander Oh New).  

It says on the bottom of the first page
イラスト&ロゴデザイン: タマノリシコ(Illustrations and Logo Design: Tamanori Shiko) I think that is the credits for the comic.

The comic is about them talking about new gadgets and movies. Seems that the whole point is to make kids drool over neat new things. I guess this is the 8th installment of the series.
