"Dragon Ball" creator Akira Toriyama has died at the age of 68. The series tells the stories of young Son Goku, who collects magic balls and wants to protect the world from evil with his allies.
The mastermind behind the manga “One Piece,” Eiichiro Oda, described Toriyamas as a “big tree” for younger artists. Perry Pallaske has been working at Comic Planet since 2005, is now the store's branch manager and a big comic fan himself.
