Cool!

The US Post Office is going to put out a series of DC Superhero Stamps, including an Aquaman stamp based on the cover to issue #5 of the second mini-series (art by Curt Swan and Al Vey) and a stamp with Aquaman artwork by Jim Aparo.

Here's what the post office's site has to say about the stamps. First the cover stamp:

Aquaman #5 (of 5)
Oct. 1989
Art by Curt Swan & Al Vey
Aquaman defends both land and sea with great strength, speed, and the ability to communicate telepathically with all marine life. His ultimate goal is to help both realms put aside their natural prejudices and unite in peaceful coexistence.

And the Jim Aparo solo stamp:

Aquaman
Art by Jim Aparo
The memories of Aquaman's personal tragedies run deep after he loses his son, his wife, and his monarchy. Nevertheless, the former King of the Seven Seas remains determined to protect both the Atlanteans and surface dwellers from those who endanger them.

Oh yeah... some other heroes are getting stamps too. Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Batman, The Flash, Plastic Man, Aquaman, Supergirl, and Hawkman. It's definitely going to be a part of my collection.

I already updated the Aquaman Website, but then I had to update the Oz Blog as well, because there is a Judy Garland Stamp reported in the same press release. Ah, I like it when news breaks and I can fix it.
