Stan Lee & jD
jD was creative partners with comic book legend Stan "The Man" Lee from 2002 to 2016.
jD working relationship with Stan turned into a close friendship, as well as with Stan's beautiful and charming wife, Joanie. The two of them married for 69 years. Stan retiring from work at age 95 when Joanie got sick in 2016.
Stan called jD "My protégé" and said:
“jD is the Iron Man of comedy.” - Stan Lee
Stan and jD were late for an interview due to working. The photographer asked
their assistant he could go into Stan's main office and snap some photos. Neither
were aware the photos were being taken.
Out of all the ones taken that day, jD loves the two pics above for many reasons. You can
ask him those reasons.
Some of the many projects Stan & jD worked on together:
"The NFL Defenders"
A superhero team that was co-produced by The NFL. Lead by a teen boy, who gains super powers, some of his friends and a, each NFL team has it's own superhero based on the teams name, history and fan base. As underdogs they do all they can to beat the odds and fight those who want to destroy earth- while also fighting each other due to revielies. In the end they always come together and work as a team. Lots of action, adventure and comedy,
"The NHL Guardian Project"
A superhero team that was co-produced by The NHL. Similar theme to "The NFL Defenders" using NHL teams as superheroes.
"U-Man"
A superhero whose public coming-out stirs debate, love and hate because he not only shows his true identity he lets the world know he's gay.
"F.A.R.T.S."
A series about an old-folks home for superheroes who age,m and all that goes with them still doing their best to be superheroes.
"A-HoleMan"
A superhero that fights those evil villains who do those annoying and bothersome things no other superhero nor most law enforcement deal with. From those who cut you off driving and give you the finger, double park or park like crap so you can't park, don't pick up their dogs poo and so on. A-HoleMan is also a bit of an asshole.
The pilot was shot, with jD playing A-HoleMan. ("I am pretty sure Stan wanted me in the lead because he felt is was type-casting."- jD) When Joanie got sick everything, including this project, was put on hold. Then Stan went to another dimension on a new journey, without a doubt with Joanie at his side.
The good news: jD owns the full rights to many of the projects. So perhaps one day they will come to life again.
This is jD. Stan Lee is in a movie I wrote & will direct called:
"King Arthur & His Knights! Of The Not So Round Table"
Not just a cameo but scenes. Scenes! Shot prior to him, well, you know.
The rest of the movie is not shot yet. The script is in the style of the first movie I ever wrote, "Robin Hood: Men In Tights." A spoof, with satire comedy that his no room for political correctness.
This will be the last appearance Stan makes in a movie - that is not AI generated.
Promo's for "Knights!"

Not showing this promo - yet. But here are some pics.
Oh, one more surprises. Stan raps to a David Bowie song in the movie.
Can you guess what song?
Out of the hundreds of thousands of pic of Stan Lee (possibly millions), and the ten's of thousands of Stan with famous celebrities, this pic of Stan and jD at Comic Con was the one many news outlets chose to use when they announced that Stan Lee had passed away.
We looked into why. Why a pic of Stand with jD to make this huge announcement?
We were told that many had heard of the close friendship Stan and jD had and they felt if symbolized something special.
This is jD.
Shortly after Stan moved onto his next great adventure, I got calls, texts and emails from family, friends and associates. Then people started sending me this pic of the CNN announcement and other networks announcements using this pic of Stan with me. I was, to say the least, stunned. I was very sad that Stan was no longer here but oddly proud of this pic because it captured a moment in Stan and my relationship that meant a lot for reasons the camera understood, but I cannot imagine those looking at it can, other than seeing we did love each other, knew the full context. If interested I will tell you. Perhaps during on of my performances.
Stan, miss you & love you.✋🏼✨❤️
