I don't think I ever saw the ending, I'll have to check. A couple years ago, I
got about 50-75% of issues 50-160 from one of my mother's coworkers. That was
really cool. :)

Well, there were some compilation volumes available for Wormy, I believe.

Ditto! I purchased it too, but I can't find it. :(

I have a couple of those issues, but I'm not sure if it was ever finished. If
it was, I'm pretty sure I don't have those issues. Although, now that I think
about it... Hmmm.. I'll hafta check.
Some of the more recent comics they've had include Libram X,
Floyd(1), Nodwick(2), and Knights of the Dinner Table. Did you ever see the
full color Snarfquest Special in issue #200?
Also, TSR is gonna release a CD-ROM with either the first 200 or 250 issues of
Dragon on it. Hopefully, it'll include the Comics and the Dragonmirth from all
those issues.

I know Gygax has done some work for TSR recently, but I can't confirm if he's
been re-hired.

1 - *Really* funny comic by Aaron Williams. Unfortunately, he put it on hold
indefinitly.
2 - Also by Aaron Williams, this is about a Henchman, and what his party puts
him through. Again, *really* funny. This is currently running in both Dungeon
and Dragon.
