Super Stamps

Just when I thought that there would be no reason in the world why I would ever need to go to the post office or mail a letter, I find out that the US Postal Service is getting into the Super Hero market. As part of the 2007 Commemorative Stamp Program the US Postal Service is coming out with a Marvel Comics character stamp series.
Characters included are
  • Spider-Man
  • The Incredible Hulk
  • Sub-Mariner
  • The Thing
  • Captain America
  • Silver Surfer
  • Spider-Woman
  • Iron Man
  • Elektra
  • Wolverine
Also included in the collection with the ten characters are ten covers featuring the characters

  • Amazing Spider-Man #1
  • Incredible Hulk #1
  • Sub-Mariner #1
  • Fantastic Four #3
  • Captain America #100
  • Silver Surfer #1
  • Marvel Spotlight #32 (Spider-Woman)
  • Iron Man #1
  • Daredevil #176 (Elektra)
  • X-Men #1
Here's a quote from Geek Speak about the X-men #1 being featured:
About the only curious item is "X-Men" #1. Saunders notes it's the one from 1963. Thing is, we all know Wolverine wasn't in that issue.
Whatever. If you can get a stamp of the first X-Men comic and a stamp of Wolverine, so much the better.

I think is totally awesome that the Post Office is doing this, I just might have to start collecting stamps.

As a bit of old news, last July the Post Office came out with DC Comic stamp commemorative series.
