Pete Costanza and Kurt Schaffenberger are two different artists. Both worked for Fawcett on Captain Marvel, and both worked at DC for Mort Weisinger (Costanza on Jimmy Olsen, Schaffenberger on Lois Lane). Schaffenberger worked at American Comics Group using the pen name Lou Wahl.
I commented about this yesterday. According to the GCD, the cover is by Schaffenberger but is signed as Costanza. The art on the story itself is by Constanza, who is a different person than Schaffenberger. They each have biographies on wikipedia.
Corrected across all ACG issues. Thank you for the info.
