Weekly Shonen Jump 1991 No.43 gave Slam Dunk both the cover and the colour opening to mark the series passing fifty chapters — Hanamichi Sakuragi pointing straight at the reader in Takehiko Inoue\'s artwork. The colour opening page with Ryota Miyagi is shown in the photographs.
DRAGON BALL runs in the same issue, with the rest of the late-1991 line-up. The contents page and the reply-card page are photographed.
Please read the condition before you buy: the cover of this copy is heavily rippled and creased, front and back, as the angled photographs show. It is complete and the colours are strong, but it is not a flat copy. The price reflects that.
Condition in one line: Acceptable — complete; cover heavily rippled and creased; toned pages. Full details below.
Peace of mind: every photo in this listing is of the exact copy you will receive. Want another angle, or a closer look at the colophon, the spine or the page edges? Ask via message before you buy and we will send it.
