(FORT WAYNE) - If you love Marvel Comics…the U.S. Postal Service launches its latest set of superhero stamps today.
The postal service says for decades, super heroes have been synonymous with the comic book medium. Their adventures have provided an escape from every day life and demonstrate that individuals can make a difference.
Comic books aren't simply "kid stuff"-adults have always been among their readers, and the form has attracted its share of serious artists and writers.
Lori Thomas with Fort Wayne's postal office says the 20-stamp set will feature portraits of individual Marvel characters: Captain America, Elektra, Iron Man, Silver Surfer, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Sub-Mariner, The Incredible Hulk, The Thing and Wolverine. The other 10 stamps depict individual marvel comic book covers.
Thomas says the stamps also make great gifts for that stamp collector or comic book lover.
