Remembering JDF

Sunday, November 27, 2022

Speeding Bullet was saddened to hear of the passing of “Power Rangers” star Jason David Frank, who died on Nov. 19.
JDF was best known for his multiple roles on “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,” including the original Green Ranger. In recent years, he connected with Power Ranger fans around the globe, signing at conventions, comic stores, and events.
Jason David Frank visited Speeding Bullet Comics on four occasions, including three extremely well-attended public signings.
Annette shared the following thoughts:

Jason David Frank, the world’s Green Power Ranger, was such a kind, gregarious person. We loved hosting him in the shop. During his signings, I helped direct the line of fans who came from all over to see him, and he NEVER disappointed, giving each one his authentic attention, swapping stories, signing books and exchanging gifts. We are very sad today to hear of his passing and are sending love to his family and fellow fans.

We had great experiences with JDF and will miss him.
