What publishers have been incorporated into DC over the years?

I was reading an Irwin Donenfeld interview this week that inferred that somehow Harry owned that company as well. Or did he just bankroll it for Fred Iger (who apparently married both a daughter and an ex-daughter-in-law of Donenfeld's)? Or none of the above? The wiki seems to infer that he had a partial ownership but only in the early 60s, and I've heard there's some murkiness here...

Alter Ego 61 has an article on ACG:

I have a copy, I'll try to have a look.
darwination:
Ah, thanks for the heads-up, Roy. I went ahead and picked up a digital copy on sale for 2.65. I have a good number of copies of Alter Ego in my boxes, but I appreciate the digital option for instant (and cheap) satisfaction. Cutting out the shipping cost is a big deal when picking up a loose issue here or there, and 2.95 is a very reasonable price digital price point for Alter Ego. That's hard to beat. I look forward to reading it, as I've enjoyed very much the ACG comics that I've read. If I make any sense of my own question, I'll report back...
An aside on my opinion about a digital price point for new comics from the big 2, .99 is appropriate for 6 minutes of reading. An issue of Alter Ego can last hours ;D
narfstar:
I agree Darwin. AE is much more for your money. 99 cents is the regular price for most comics on Wowio and others. They often give the first issue away free. And it works. I have bought the rest of a series for 99 cents each. I never would have paid the $18 to $24 bucks a six issue series I was not familiar with. But they made five bucks they would not have made otherwise

Once the color e-ink devices are "perfected" ... digital comic time!
P.S. No Wowio in Canada :-(
