Editor's Note:
This celebration has not only given us the opportunity to see fantastic works from some of the most famous creative minds of the moment, but it makes clear the role that Dragon Ball played in the history of anime and manga. Almost all battle shonen have taken inspiration from the work of Akira Toriyama, and this work honors his work.
