Release[]
Dragon #279 was released by Wizards of the Coast in January 2001 for $4.99 US or $6.99 Canadian.
Paizo Publishing later released a PDF copy of this issue for $4.95 US. Paizo's contract with Wizards permitted them to release digital copies of any issue once print back issues were depleted,[1] eventually releasing digital downloads of issues #274 to #345. These PDFs were high quality digital-origin rather than scanned, watermarked but DRM-free, and omitted advertising. Due to licensing restrictions, some comics were also omitted. The PDFs were withdrawn from sale by early 2024.
