Printed in the authentic right-to-left or "eastern," format,
Dragonball introduces a young monkey-tailed boy named Goku (a wry update
of the classic Chinese "Monkey King" legend), whose quiet life changes when he
meets a girl named Bulma who is on a quest to collect seven "Dragon Balls." If
she gathers them all, an incredibly powerful dragon will appear and grant her
one wish. But the precious orbs are scattered all over the world, and Bulma
could use the help of a certain super-strong boy... After the setbacks
Goku's dealt the Red Ribbon Army, Commander Red has hired Taopaipai, the world's
deadliest assassin, to kill him! To beat this powerful opponent, Goku must
travel to the top of the miles-high Karin Tower to meet the hermit master Karin
and get his magic elixir that can increase strength tenfold! Even with the
elixir, does Goku have the strength to beat Taopaipai? And even if he wins, to
get the Dragon Balls he'll have to take them from Red Ribbon HQ - and fight the
entire Army - all at once! NOTE: Not available outside North America,
Puerto Rico, the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand. SC, 192pg, b&w
