This issue's Akira Toriyama cover illustration was drawn for the cover of the 1990 #30 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump in Japan. This issue went on sale on 26 June 1990 and featured the original printing of Dragon Ball Chapter 280. The Weekly Jump cover gets a quarter-page reprint in the 30th Anniversary Super History Book,[1] and the illustration itself gets full-page reprints in Dragon Ball Daizenshuu 1 ("The Complete Illustrations")[2] and in the Dragon Ball Chōgashū ("A Visual History").[3]
