DC Comics Postage Stamps
From the DC Comics Web Site
December 2nd, 2005 - NEW YORK — The United States Postal Service and DC Comics, the largest English-language publisher of comics in the world and the home of Superman and Batman, have announced that in 2006 the Postal Service will be issuing the first ever stamp pane (20 stamps) to honor comic book super heroes.
The "DC Comics Super Heroes" commemorative stamps will feature ten classic comic book characters: Aquaman, Batman, The Flash, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Plastic Man, Supergirl, Superman and Wonder Woman. While half of the pane of 20 will be character portraits, the other half will show classic comic book covers.
"DC Comics is thrilled to have our characters appear on the first ever commemorative stamp pane devoted to superheroes," said DC Comics President & Publisher Paul Levitz. "These stamps acknowledge the unique role of the DC heroes in American culture, and proudly present the art of three generations of great comics creators from pioneers like Bob Kane and Jack Kirby to current star talent Jim Lee and George Pérez."
"Placing comic book characters on postage stamps is a natural for attracting comic book readers and collectors into the exciting world of stamp collecting," said U.S. Postal Service Executive Director of Stamps Services David Failor. "Immortalizing these superheroes on postage stamps clearly positions them as American cultural icons."
