August 27, 2013: Canada Post Unveils New Superman Stamps
Posted by Neil Cole
Just in time for Superman's 75th Anniversary, the Canada Post has officially debuted their new series of stamps featuring the Man of Steel.
As we previously reported, the new PERMANENT™ stamps are similar to US Postal Service FOREVER™ stamps in that they are honored as acceptable postage even as rates increase over time.
There are 5 stamps total (pictured below) in the new series which showcase the evolution of Superman's image throughout 75 years of comic book appearances. The featured illustrations come from:
1939: Superman #1, cover drawn by Joe Shuster 1945: Superman #32, cover drawn by Wayne Boring 1971: Superman #233, cover drawn by Neal Adams 2004: Superman #204, interior image drawn by Jim Lee 2012: Superman Annual #1, cover drawn by Kenneth Rocafort
The Superman stamps, which are only available for purchase within Canada, are currently available for pre-order at https://www.canadapost.ca and officially issue on September 10th, 2013.
