Super Stamps

Super Stamps

It's rare that I get excited about a special series of stamps released by the United States Postal Service. But late this month, one of the best designed and packaged series hit post offices across the country.

With 10 portraits of super heroes from DC Comics, as well as 10 historic covers, the set was a collaboration between the USPS and DC -- and features information on the back about the heroes, origins, and storylines... and even credits the creators who produced the original artwork.

I bet Marvel is foaming at the mouth over this. Who knew there could be so excellent a reason to go to the post office?
