Contents

The comic’s standard front and back cover (sans dust jacket) use green-toned versions of the comic’s main dust jacket artwork and the movie’s official poster, respectively.

The book contains material introducing the characters in the story before covering the entirety of the film itself. Following this, the entire staff and cast of the movie is listed on the last page.

Two Large Exclusive Posters
 
This anime comic includes a double-sided fold-out poster with one side being movie related, while the other is based on the TV series. Although the TV series related poster may seem out of place in comparison to the events and characters in the movie, it showcases the characters as they appeared in the series at the time when this comic was released, around the 25th Tenka’ichi Budōkai. No specific artist is listed for either poster.

Notes

  • Shueisha did not begin releasing film animation comics for the Dragon Ball franchise until 1992, well after many movies had already been produced. This film comic was eventually released in June 1994, just over 4 years after the movie’s theatrical premiere in March 1990.
