Release[]

Dragon #39 was released by TSR in July 1980 for $3.00 US.

The cover title of this issue would change from The Dragon to simply Dragon, which would be used for the rest of the magazine's run. Internally, the magazine's page headers still used the name "The Dragon" up to Dragon #41 (Sep 1980), and writers and contributors would continue to refer to the magazine by the old title even after that.
