Now you've done it. I am going to have to scan in some SUPER covers I have. I love pictorial postmarks and I think I have one for several of those stamps. Plus I use to read Spider-man, X-men, and Sub-Mariner. |

WOW, they are absolutely FANTASTIC, in every sense Quote: Plus I use to read Spider-man, X-men, and Sub-Mariner. I used to read X-Men, Fantastic Four and Punisher. Fantastic Four were my favourites. Later I moved on to the more "violent" ones, with Spawn and Lobo. I still have them somewhere on my parents' attic.  Need those stamps, though  |

I also read Batman, GI Joe, Witchblade, Green Lantern, The Flash, etc. I still have several full comic boxes taking up space. As for violent comics I was a big fan of James O'Barr's The Crow that the movie was based on.
In fact, I have some stamp comic books from the USPS: Bugs Bunny with a FDOI postmark and a set for the Celebrate the Century series. These were around the same time of the USPS Stampers Savers Cards Cool-lectibles from around 1996-2000. I use to collect the card and stamp packs. |

I collected comics for years , not so popular independent stuff but the few popular comics such as Ghost Rider and Transformers I sold on Ebay month's before the Movie adaptations and I made quite a bit of $$$
Still have 1 big comic box and I'm really looking forward to the Watchmen. I bought the USPS DC comic sheet for postal use and I do remember the USPS Marvel sheet coming out.
I was an extra on Dark Knight and after 6-7 takes of me and others as hospital patients getting on an evacuee bus , the take they used was the one where we had already boarded the bus such a let down after being so excited about possibly making a brief appearance. |

Johnstamp, I will dig them out to scan and post.
Jayelem, Too bad about being cut, that would be a very cool experience. I also am wanting to see the Watchmen. I really like Frank Millar's stuff. |

I've always wanted to go to the annual Metropolis Superman festival ,years ago I was in the drive-thru for a local hamburger joint chain called White Castle's and the car in front of me had the metropolis temporary superman plates on his car , I always thought that was cool .  Chester Illinois is home of Popeye the sailor man's creator , I remember a USPS Popeye comic strip stamp in the late 90's. Here's a Popeye mural located in town.  |

Laswabbie needs to use the Popeye stamp as his avatar.
There are several subcontracted post office stations in all kinds of unusual places in the US. We have 1 here in a Meijers Store, a printing shop and a True Value hardware store that I know of. |
