Stan Lee surprised everyone a short while back when he announced he'd be doing a series of stories for DC showing how he would have handled their major characters! From what I understand, each story also has a "real person" backup story (a la the Alex Ross Marvels?) included with it called "Just Imagine". The following page is from the "Just Imagine" story included with Stan Lee's Wonder Woman.

Stan Lee Wonder Woman "Just Imagine" story, pg.4

Shortly after working on the Wonder Woman backup story, Gene & Stan reunite on a DD backup story for Daredevil issue #400. Well, it's actually Daredevil Vol.2, Issue #20, but it would have been issue #400 if they hadn't restarted at #381, and a lot of the die-hard DD fans still use the old numbers! Considering that Gene & Stan worked on more DD issues together than any other creative team, and that Gene pencilled more DD issues than any other artist, and that with the exception of John Romita, Gene & Stan are the earliest creative team of DD still with us, it was only fitting that these two get back together to commemorate such an auspicious anniversary!
