Cover Illustration

This issue's Akira Toriyama cover illustration was drawn for the cover of the guide book for Famicom Jump II: The 7 Strongest (ファミコンジャンプII_最強の7人) in 1992. Only Goku's head and hands are visible on the Famicom Jump cover, but the full illustration gets a small reproduction in Dragon Ball Chōgashū ("A Visual History").[1]
