Set Description:
Dragon Ball was one of the anime series I ever saw. It was sometime around 1993-1994 when a local TV station aired episodes of Dragon Ball at 530am. There was something unique and charming about the show. The following year another station starting airing Ronin Warriors (i.e. Samurai Troopers) episodes in the late morning during the summer. From there I was hooked and began looking for more anime shows (which was a lot harder to find than today). It wasn't until Toonami started showing Dragon Ball Z in 1998 that anime started to become mainstream. Almost in tandem, Viz Comics released Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z both in "manga-style". At that time I only collected the DBZ issues through Part 3 because of my LCS stopped carrying them.
Fast forward to today. It wasn't until late 2021/early 2022, there was an opportunity to get signatures from the majority of the English DBZ voice actor cast. I was fortunate enough to get 2 books signed. That really sparked my drive to start collecting the series again and seek out meeting the VA cast.
