Marvel Super Heroes
http://www.usps.com/communications/n...Cmcs300dpi.jpg

With these 20 colorful stamps, the U.S. Postal Service salutes stars from the world of Marvel Comics. 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. And Super Heroes have responded to social and political issues from their beginnings.

Ten stamps on the pane of 20 are 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. Information about the artwork shown on each stamp appears on the back on the stamp pane.

Marvel Characters

The Thing
Art by Jack Kirby
Formerly a skilled fighter pilot, Ben Grimm is now The Thing, a member of the world-famous Fantastic Four. Though people may find his craggy exterior of orange stone unsightly, Ben has maintained his sense of humor and his heart of gold.

Spider-Woman

After her genetic code was combined with that of a rare breed of spider, Jessica Drew was duped into serving the evil organization HYDRA. Later, as Spider-Woman, she became a super heroine. She is one of the Avengers, Earth's mightiest heroes.

Wolverine
Art by Dave Cockrum
Little is known of Wolverine's past, save that it was fraught with pain and loss. Today, he is an X-Man who uses his animal-keen sense, healing powers, and razor-sharp claws to help protect a world that hates and fears mutants (Wolverine isn't featured in the X-Men issue #1 cover stamp image because his character hadn't yet been introduced).

Ach ja, von Disney gibt's auch welche...

Das wäre doch was für die Deutsche Post. Briefmarken von Fix und Foxi, Sigurd oder Bussi Bär. :flop:

Wär doch was für Nuff! ;)

Nuff Briefmarken mit Jakubs Konterfei??

Bestimmt nicht...

Und schon posted Comic-Experte Mark Evanier die Fehler bei der Zeichner-Zuordnung auf seiner Website:

...and these names are also being printed on the obverse side of the stamps. They have a Sub-Mariner portrait credited to Gene Colan when it's actually by John Buscema. They have a Captain America portrait credited to John Romita when it's actually by Jack Kirby. (That one's off the cover of Tales of Suspense #59, which was done years before Romita came back to Marvel.) I think the Spider-Woman drawing is Romita not Infantino and the Hulk drawing — I'm not sure where it's from — may have been pencilled by John Buscema but the linework and face are definitely John Romita. Some of the cover images are credited to both penciller and inker and some only to the penciller. Joe Sinnott, Frank Giacoia and Syd Shores are therefore among the uncredited. It would be nice to get these right, especially if Marvel's going to spring to get some of these folks — the few who are still with us — out to San Diego.

Da ich meinen Comickonsum auf ein Minimum reduziere (US Masterworks / Archives ; aber nicht mehr alle, wie bisher // dt. einige Bunte Dimensionen / Splitter / Epsilon / LL - Blueberry - Prinz Eisenherz Gesamtausgaben) werde ich mir auch keine Gedanken um die Dinger machen, und schon gar nicht an einen Kauf denken.

Dein Minimum ist intressant, schonmal das Maximum ausgeschöpft??

Ausgeschöpft noch nicht, aber extrem nahe dran durch Merchandise, Unmengen an US Einzelheften - fast alle Marvel und DC-Serien, Tradepaperbacks, alle Archives und Masterworks pro Monat, fast jedes dt. Album, alle Dino/Panini obwohl ich die auch als US habe, etc. Vergessen habe ich noch die französischen und holländischen Alben, fast jedes US Sekundärmaterial (Twomorrows Magazine und Bücher); u.s.w.

Also ich habe jetzt zwei Kellerräume voll Comics, Romane, Figuren, Playmobil und Modellbausätzen. D.h. ich muß mit 60 in Rente gehen (noch 17 Jahre, 5 Monate und 7 Tage) um das von mir ausgeschöpfte Maximum auch noch geniessen zu können.
Hoffentlich macht unsere geliebte Regierung mir da mal keinen Strich durch die Rechnung.

Nachdem ich vorgestern wieder 21 Kartons verräumt hab (ausschließlich klassisches Marvel-Material in allen möglichen Varianten), diese aber bei weitem nicht gereicht haben, um die Mengen an bunt bedrucktem Papier unterzubringen, werde ich mich wohl demnächst wieder von manchem trennen. Weiß nur noch nicht was, vielleicht die Ös-Sammelbände...

Also wenn ich das Thema hier mal anschneide, hat meine Angetraute immer sofort einen stilisierten Papiercontainer in den Pupillen. :D

:wink: :glubsch:

Wie sich Frauen doch ähneln! :zwinker:

Meine Frau unterstützt mein Hobby, sie findet es auch schade, daß ich jetzt viele Sachen verkaufe. Nach meiner schweren Krankheit zu Beginn des Jahrtausends und dem Nierenstein mit Kolik Ende September wird einem bewußt, daß man nichts von dem Zeug in die Ewigkeit mitnimmt, daher jetzt meine Einschränkungen und die vielen Sachen im Comicmarktplatz, wo auch noch viel mehr dazukommt, schließlich sind das ja einige Zimmer voll.

:top:

Okay, ein schwacher Moment:

Ich gebe nur die komplette Kiste ab!

So, des zwergies Kohle fließt in den Fond für ein neues (vermutlich aber gebrauchtes) NUFF-Mobil. Das alte hat schon einige Jahre auf dem Buckel, und alte Leute sind bekanntlich nicht mehr so flexibel. Außerdem vertragen sie die Kälte nachts nicht besonders, so dass es morgens zu Startschwierigkeiten kommen kann...

Leider kostet ein funkelniegelnagelneues NUFF-Mobil mindestens das hundertfache vom Betrag für o.g. Hefte.

Jetzt aber wieder zurück zu den Briefmarken.
