Biography
Don Newton (1934-1984) was an American comics artist. He was born in St. Charles Virginia, but grew up in Arizona. During his career, he worked for a number of comic book publishers including Charlton Comics, DC Comics, and Marvel Comics. At DC he did notable stints on Aquaman, Batman and Captain Marvel. His work at Marvel was less regular but appeared in the Avengers, and Ghost Rider. Newton also drew several Captain Marvel/Marvel Family stories and was a fan of the character having studied under Captain Marvel co-creator C. C. Beck. When Newton and Marvel had a falling out in the early eighties, Don returned to DC to pencil and ink the Green Lantern Corps (his only inking credit).
