1969 reintroduces another character: Black Canary. She is actually the same as the Golden Age version, moving from Earth-Two to Earth-One after being widowed. She is added to the line-up of the Justice League to add another female character besides Wonder Woman, and start a romance with Green Arrow. It was not until 1983 that the character was retconned as the original's daughter, implanted with false memories.
Meanwhile, DC raises the price of comics from 12 to 15 cents, and other companies follow suit. DC is now moved under Warner Bros. by Kinney. Wally Wood's Tower Comics, the company behind the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents, goes out of business.
