I was curious if Jim Aparo did any other Marvel characters and I couldn't find any, but here he is on THE MONKEES!  But I have no idea where this is from, since Jose Delbo drew most of the Dell 17-issue series run (except issue #1 was Giordano, Trapani, and McLaughlin).

Great find, Eric.  According to GCD, Skeates and Aparo did three two-pagers for a scheduled Charlton magazine called Teen Tunes and Pin-Ups! but Charlton lost the Monkees rights to Dell.  They were published in The Charlton Arrow #3 in 2014.  The full stories can be found here.

Reed never quite looks right to me when his neck stretches.

I also looked up any Marvel characters that Curt Swan might have drawn and (except for that one Captain America pin-up, as with Aparo) there don't seem to be any.  BUT here is one cover he did for Malibu.

And, apparently, Swan did two STAR TREK annuals and one regular issue (all written by Peter David--argh) for DC that I was not aware of.  I never thought I'd see Curt Swan drawn Mr. Spock, but here it is--and it's great!
