Science-Fiction/Fantasy Stamps

I've been a sci-fi/fantasy fan since I was 8 years old, so when I began stamp collecting, it was natural for me to seek out commemorative issues related to the genre. My inner geek girl knows no bounds. Anyone else have a similar interest?

Australia - Star Trek: The Next Generation:


United States - 30th Anniversary of Star Wars:


United Kingdom - Magical Realms:

Not sure if this fits...

Micronesia, the original Star Trek.

Pardon the repeat, but I couldn't pass up the chance to type "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!!"

Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon (French: De la Terre à la Lune), published in 1865, is a humorous science fantasy novel and is one of the earliest entries in that genre. In 1958, there was a film adaptation of this novel released starring Joseph Cotten, George Sanders, and Debra Paget, which I remember seeing in the theater as a child. Here is an image of an airmail stamp depicting the adventurers' spacecraft/projectile (shot from Earth by a huge Columbiad cannon!), designed by Hungarian graphic artist Alexander (Sandor) Legrady, printed by photogravure, and issued by Hungary on November 1, 1969, Scott No. C287.

"Lost in Space" Pure and absolute high quality kitsch. So unutterably bad that it just has to be watched.

That was the show that had them all on a space city of domes connected together and each new show was discovering a new dome or world that had been cut off from each other for centuries? I remember the pic of the domes more than the characters. Neat idea.

Nothing nearly that imaginative. It was an errant space ship and three years of episodes running around awful scripts and worse special effects. I just googled it and the whole sorry thing apparently produced 82 episodes.

I remember it as something that was running in the mid 1960s at the time I was in University and it was used as something to boo and throw popcorn at as we - "ahem" - sat around in evening study groups drinking tea and discussing philosophy.

A scene from Jules Verne's novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, layout by Valérie Besser after original artwork by French painter Michel Bez (1951- ), printed by photogravure, and issued by France on May 28, 2005 as one of six stamps in a souvenir sheet honoring Jules Verne, Scott No. 3125, Y&T No. 3794.
