I went out an purchased a full sheet last year, and will do the same with the Marvel stamps first thing Friday morning.
The 41-cent stamps include Sub-Mariner, The Thing, Captain America, the Silver Surfer, Spider-Woman, Elektra, Wolverine, and everyone’s favorite wall crawlers Spider-Man.
The other 10 stamps depict classic Marvel Comic book covers linked to the super heroes. Information about the artwork shown on each stamp appears on the back on the stamp pane.
Don’t wait until tomorrow, take the jump to see all the stamps in one place.
