When did the Megazine lose the free mag?

I used to get the Megazine a lot and there was always a free A5 size reproduction of an old strip attached as a free gift.
My wife has got it for me on special occasions over the last few years and today on my Birthday I have suddenly thought to myself.....
Where's the free reprint small mag that used to come with this???
It takes me ages to notice things so it's possible this ended 20 years ago lol.

The last entry on this Wikipedia page
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_D ... rnal_links will let you access a list of Megazine supplements.

Thanks David but all I can see from this (and I apologise if I am missing something??) is a list of stories that featured in the supplements that were attached to the Megazine.
My point is that I thought every Megazine came with a free supplement but the last Megazine that I bought did not so therefore I wondered whether the supplements had ceased and in which issue did this occur.

January 2024, I think. The bagged supplement was rolled into the main Meg, I believe to save a considerable amount on production costs - the new Meg has the same total number of pages as the old Meg and supplement put together.

Many thanks Andy.
