Cover Illustration
This issue's Akira Toriyama cover illustration was drawn for a 1989 calendar the 1989 #03/#04 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump in Japan. This issue went on sale on 19 December 1989, just a few weeks after this Viz Comics issue's chapters were printed, and featured the original printing of Dragon Ball Chapter 205. The illustration gets quarter-page reprints in Dragon Ball Daizenshuu 1 ("The Complete Illustrations")[1] and the Dragon Ball Chōgashū ("A Visual History").[2]
Letters Column
The letters column is printed left-to-right on pages 31-30. There is a standard solicitation for reader letters on the inside of the front cover. The responses are written by editor Trish Ledoux. (Parentheses) and [brackets] are Viz; {braces} are Kanzenshuu notes.
