This was Newton's only work on the series, but the stories continued in the back paged of "Action Comics" during much of its run as a "DC Dollar Comic. Don Newton was the artist for that entire run, adapting his realistic details and physical contortions into a quirky, humourous look. This served the whimsical style of writing that DC used in an attempt to maintain the tradition of lightharted stories from the Fawcett comics of the 1940's and 50's.
It may have been Adventure Comics rather than Action, but I get your point. It would make sense that DC would try to replicate the success of C.C. Beck's Captain Marvel circa 1940s. As much as I enjoy Newton's work, I'm not sure his style matched the whimsical style you refer to in the late 1970s stories.
