beamjockeyFandom's postman Harry Andruschak points out a list of the stamps that will be issued by the U.S. Postal Service in 2006.
Highlights:
Favorite Children's Book Animals.
Wonders of America: Land of Superlatives. Probably nice, but it will be hard to measure up to the U-Haul "weird science" series of rental-truck graphics.
Distinguished American Diplomats, which led me to learn about Hiram Bingham IV. (I already knew about his dad, Hiram Bingham III, discoverer of the lost city of Macchu-Picchu, autogiro pilot, and governor, for a single day, of Connecticut.)
Ten DC Comics heroes. Half of the pane of 20 will be portraits of the characters; the other half will show individual comic book covers devoted to their exploits. The characters include Aquaman, Batman, The Flash, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Plastic Man, Supergirl, Superman and Wonder Woman.
Four depictions of the accomplishments of Ben "Tercentenary Lad" Franklin.
Holiday Snowflakes, from photomicrographs by physicist Kenneth Libbrecht.
