USPS Marvel Stamps

Issued in 2007, with these 20 colorful stamps, the Postal Service salutes several stars from the world of Marvel Comics. For decades, Super Heroes have been nearly synonymous with the comic book medium; their adventures provide an escape from the everyday and demonstrate that individuals can make a difference. Ten of the stamps on this pane show covers of classic comic books devoted to the exploits of Marvel Super Heroes; the remaining ten stamps show portraits of individual characters.
