About the series
From 2001 to 2004, French publisher Glénat released Dragon Ball Double, a 21-issue series that collected Akira Toriyama's legendary shonen saga in a compact, two-chapter-per-volume format. This edition offered European readers a fresh, accessible way to experience the epic adventures of Goku and his friends, from the early martial arts tournaments to the galaxy-spanning battles against Frieza and Cell. While the series itself is a reprint, it stands as a notable example of how manga was packaged and popularized for Western audiences during the early 2000s boom.
