It's nice to see that you ended up with this great Swan page. I actually won it in 1979 in a contest D.C. held in connection with the release of the first Superman movie. The contest required you to answer about 20 trivia questions about Superman. Those entries which correctly answered all the questions were put in a drawing for a cape worn in the movie, and those who lost in that drawing were sent a page of original art. I was glad to be one of the losers!

Now that is a fun backstory. I've had this Swan page for about 20 years now. Always enjoyed it, but never posted it until recently. It was my first Swan and it is special to me. Knowing the back story to the art makes it more so. Thank you for sharing.
