I was in Tennessee last year on vacation and at an antique store there was a Don Sherwood original drawing of a cowboy on a horse. I wanted to buy it, but the owner said it was part of his personal collection and not for sale. It was a great piece of art and I seem to remember Sherwood's name on some Partridge Family comics from Charlton several years ago, but I don't know anything about him.
Can anyone give me information on Sherwood or at least point me in the direction of a web site that has information on him.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know much about Don Sherwood - I've only seen his name pop up with Charlton's Phantom. Unfortunately, he suffers from being neither Jim Aparo nor Don Newton, and that's an uphill battle for any Phantom artist.

Here's a chronological list of his pencilling credits at the GCD:
