It's recently come to my attention that, in the way-back, Dragon ran the occasional Cthulhu-related articles (I'm guessing when WotC still supported CoC D20). As my collection only goes back to around #275, I was hoping that someone(s) might be able to help me find these articles and which issues they're in.
**Anything even remotely Cthulhu-related will do**
So far from other sources I've found:
#138 ("The Black Book and the Hunters")
#150 (re. skills)
#198 (re. one Josh Wellmeat)
On a related note, is that CD of collected early Dragons commercially available? I've not been able to find it in the Paizo shop.
Thank you.

The CD is out of print due to licensing problems. Your best bet is eBay.
Doing a quick search for Cthulhu in the Dragon area of paizo.com, it looks like issues 221 and 223 have some Cthulhu content as well.
Though there doesn't appear to be many Cthulhu fans here, I have included a list (that a kind soul posted on another forum) of related Dragon issues in case there are some other fans out there that haven't yet succumbed to the sweet sweet oblivion of madness. :)

Advice for matching monsters to scenarios
Unfortunately, many of these issues are "currently unavailable" at the Paizo shop. Any hopes of PDFs of these becoming available? Perhaps some sort of collection or compendium of these and similar articles? Would a sacrifice help?
I'll just be here gnashing at my bonds...
Cheers... and Happy Holidays!
Ah, memories of issues gone by...
Whilst I've no beef with the current state of affairs with Dragon magazine, I do wish that someone could manage a equally interesting and quality gaming mag that would cover the other games out there (and perhaps, some of the Out-of-Print stuff too, on occasion).
Sigh.
