Title Issue Date Contribution
Charlton Bullseye 5 7-9/76 Two Phantom illustrations accompanying Howard Siegel's "Discussion with Don Newton" (possibly reprints, but I don't know where from)
Classic Reproductions A series of seventeen illustrations and paintings published by the SFCA on heavy, high-quality 6-ply coated pasteboard. Six of these were by Don: #2 Captain Marvel and Old Shazam, #4 Daredevil (the original), #5 the Owl, #7 Spy Smasher, #11 Airboy, #15 Fighting Yank. The last three may be the paintings from the Newton Portfolio. I don't know if it was just for the ads or if it was part of the package, but a Newton  Superman painting was used for advertising Classic Reproductions.
The Collector 16 69 A black and white cover illustration of Batman by Don. This might be Don's first published Batman work.
17 70 Features an interview with Don and a cover of the Justice Society of America.
19 70 The ad says a "beautiful center spread by Don Newton."
22 70 An unknown illustration by Don.
23 71 I don't have the book I just know Don was mentioned in an ad for it.
27 73 The ad says a "Western Portfolio by Don Newton." We can assume this is "High Dawn, Part One." A review of this book states that these Newton western illustrations were originally done for a book written by Carlisle Raht and edited by Bruce Hamilton. Don also supplied one or more illustrations for "The Legacy of Edgar Rice Burroughs" in the same issue.
28 73 A back cover illustration of The Shadow by Don, and "High Dawn, Part Two" a portfolio of eight western illustrations by Don as well. The back cover illustration is repeated inside for an article on The Shadow.

4 1974 Front cover of the Justice Society of America painted by Don.

The Comic Buyer's Guide 16 82 Information on a proposed series at DC called "Captain Thunder", written by Roy Thomas and drawn by Don Newton. The book, a take-off on Captain Marvel was never published. Captain Thunder seems to have been a black version of Captain Marvel, whose secret identity, like CM's was that of Billy Batson. "When Billy Batson speaks the name of the ancient wizard Shazam -- he is transformed into Captain Thunder -- the World's Mightiest Mortal of Earth-One." At least that's what the proposal said about this updating of the Captain Marvel character.
Comic Crusader 8 Don penciled and inked the black and white cover featuring the Marvel character Yellowjacket duking it out with a mad scientist. In the background you see Capt. America trapped in a sphere.
