The Dragon Ball GT Anime Comic is a comicalization of the Dragon Ball GT television series, comprised of screen shots — with a limited color palette in serialization, and full color in collected editions — arranged in traditional manga format with accompanying dialog bubbles, running in Shueisha's Saikyō Jump magazine.

While Akira Toriyama receives the same 原作 (gensaku or "Original Work") credit he received for the Dragon Ball GT television series, the anime comic itself is simply credited to Bird Studio, Shueisha, and Toei Animation.

History

Example of the Dragon Ball GT anime comic's limited color palette in serialization versus the full color presentation in its collected print edition.

An "anime comic" adaptation of the Dragon Ball GT television series was announced in the December 2013 issue of Shueisha's Saikyō Jump magazine, set to debut the following issue, tying in with the Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game's then-current "Evil Dragon Mission" update series.[2]

The anime comic began in the magazine's January 2014 issue with the Dragon Ball GT series' "Evil Dragons arc" (邪悪龍編 Ja'aku Ryū-hen), with content pulled beginning with the series' forty-seventh episode.[3]

With its thirty-eighth chapter published in the magazine's July 2019 issue, the anime comic reached the "end" of the series with the end-of-issue preview for the September 2019 issue noting that, due to the series' apparent popularity, the Dragon Ball GT anime comic would continue by wrapping back around to the (thus far non-adapted) beginning of the series starting the next issue for its "Space Exploration arc" (宇宙探査編 Uchū Tansa-hen).[4]

In October 2019, Shueisha announced a forthcoming collected print edition release of the "Evil Dragons arc" spanning three volumes. Released in December 2019, these volumes presented the chapters in their original full-color presentation (as opposed to the magazine serialization's limited palette).[5][6]

The Dragon Ball GT anime comic was the second Dragon Ball spin-off manga to be included within Saikyō Jump, beginning thirty issues into the magazine's run (with Dragon Ball SD serving as the first, and debuting with the magazine itself three years prior). Throughout all of the Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game's continuing updates and even through the magazine's transition from a monthly to bimonthly publication, the Dragon Ball GT anime comic has steadily run each issue, albeit located in different positions within the magazine each time. Each chapter runs roughly 16 pages.
