Welcome to the collection of Dragon Ball anime mangas or comics brought to Spain by the publisher Planeta, which continues to publish them to this day. The first editions, released in 1998, were in black and white and featured the unique characteristic of being read in Japanese format. These editions were based on the movies and TV specials. Today, more recent versions are still being published, now based on the Dragon Ball Z Kai anime.
An anime comic, as we’ve mentioned, is essentially a manga created not through hand-drawn illustrations but by using frames from the anime it’s based on. These are often edited in full color. On this page, you’ll find all the Dragon Ball anime comics published in Spain.
Although these are comics based on the anime, which often includes the infamous "filler," these do the opposite. They are condensed versions of the original manga or "abridged" versions of what was shown on TV, but with the stunning visuals and colors seen in television or cinema.
These collections are perfect for those who are less purist about traditional black-and-white manga.
I won’t keep you any longer—this complete list of anime comics includes information about their release year, format, numbering, and links to check if they’re available for purchase in any store.
Here are some mangas and books based on the work of Akira Toriyama. If any of them catch your attention, you can access their information and possible purchase directly.
