In 1999 a CD-ROM compilation of the first 250 issues, called ''[[Dragon Magazine Archive]]'', was released in [[Portable Document Format|PDF]] format with a special viewer. It includes the seven issues of ''The Strategic Review''. The ''Dragon Magazine Archive'' is out of print because of issues raised with the 2001 ruling in ''[[Greenberg v. National Geographic]]'' regarding the reprint rights of various comic strips that had been printed in ''Dragon'' over the years and Paizo Publishing's policy that creators of comics retain their copyright.<ref name="Sean Glenn">"Actually, as was back then, and remains today, the cartoonist contracts in ''Dragon'' and ''Dungeon'' allow for the artists to retain all their rights, and gives them the ability to publish compilations of their work." —Sean Glenn, Art Director Dragon and Dungeon magazines.
