Cover Illustration

This issue's Akira Toriyama cover illustration is part of an ensemble drawn for the cover of the 1989 #47 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump. This issue contained Dragon Ball Chapter 247 and went on sale on 24 October 1989 in Japan. The Weekly Jump cover gets a small reprint in the 30th Anniversary Super History Book,[1] and the illustration ensemble itself (which includes Muten Rōshi, Umigame, and Goku) gets a two-page reproduction in Dragon Ball Daizenshuu 1 ("The Complete Illustrations")[2] and a full-page reproduction in Dragon Ball Chōgashū ("A Visual History").[3]
