WASHINGTON — Endowed with superhuman strength, yet looking different as day and night, the Amazing Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk will stand shoulder-to-shoulder as the Postal Service launches its latest set of super hero stamps.
The 20-stamp set premieres today at Comic-Con, the comic book and pop culture show in San Diego. The 41-cent stamps honor the creations of Marvel Comics, and also include Sub-Mariner, the Thing, Captain America, the Silver Surfer, the Spider-Woman, the Invincible Iron Man, Elektra, and Wolverine.
In addition, 10 of the stamps highlight covers of comic books featuring the characters. This is the second set of superhero stamps, after last year’s set featuring the creations of DC Comics.
