R.I.P. AKIRA TORIYAMA

In the world of comics in general (American comics, Franco-Belge, Manga, webtoon, African comics etc), nobody can ignore the contribution that this gentlemen procured to the development of the medium. With his masterpiece DRAGON BALL, our childhoods were blessed with top notch imagination through the lens of unforgettable characters like Son Goku, Krillin, Frieza, Trunks, Son Gohan, Vegeta, Majin Buu, Piccolo and a ton of others. Thank you for making us dream, Sir.

Rest In Peace, Legend!

"...Or pretend you were keenly interested in artsy films from Scandinavia, a mythical country in Northern Europe that was home to Santa's reindeer and blonde, blue-eyed actresses who seemed quite unable to keep their clothes on."
