Marvel stamps preview
The U.S. Postal Service has released a look a the Marvel Super-Heroes stamp set, due out next year. The set is nearly identical in design to the DC set, released this year.
There are a few nitpicks about this: The alteration of the cover of Daredevil #176 into a cover for Elektra is clumsy and strange, given the number of Elektra covers they had to choose from. They could have easily used a cover from The Elektra Saga reprints to keep the art by creator Frank Miller.
The other problem is that the cover images are distorted, smushed down to fit the dimensions of the stamps. It's a small thing, but obvious to fans and seeminly easy to fix especially since it was not a problem on the DC set.
Full info on the stamps as well as high-res versions of the sheet and the individual stamps can be found here.
