About the series
Originally serialized in the late 1990s, this nine-issue Viz release kicked off the English-language comic adaptation of the Dragon Ball Z saga, picking up where the original Dragon Ball left off. The series introduced Western readers to the high-stakes, action-packed adventures of Goku and his allies as they faced increasingly powerful foes, with the story driven by Akira Toriyama’s iconic art and dynamic storytelling. As the first major English-language version of the manga, it helped establish the global popularity of the Dragon Ball franchise in the West.
