DC reveals stamp set for Wonder Woman 75

In collaboration with Warner Bros., Consumer Products, and DC Entertainment, the U.S. Postal Service is releasing a set of four Forever stamps to commemorate 75 years of the iconic Wonder Woman. The stamp will be available for purchase in October. A first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony will take place at New York Comic-Con on Friday, October 7.

The pane will be formally revealed, along with a series of other Wonder Woman themed items, at 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 23 during the SDCC Wonder Woman 75 All-Star panel.

A preview shows that each of the four stamps evokes a different comic era. Wonder Woman is depicted in creator William Moulton Marston’s skirted Golden Age ensemble, the classic red, gold, and blue of Silver and Bronze Ages, and the Modern Age Brian Azzarello/Cliff Chiang design. Each pane contains twenty stamps, with five of each of the four designs on a blue background that features the most recent Wonder Woman logo.

DC announced the stamp set along with the lineup of guests for the Wonder Woman 75 panel. Panelists include Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot, director and star of the upcoming film, DC Co-Publisher and artist Jim Lee, and Wonder Woman artist Nicola Scott.

Wonder Woman was previously honored on a stamp in 2006. Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Batman, Flash, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Plasticman, Supergirl, and Superman were all part of the first stamp pane to commemorate superheroes.

Comic Book Replicas by Skelton Crew Studio

comic book replicas by skelton crew 1My daughters love plushies. They have loved these things since they were 3 years old. Myself, I love comic books and replicas of comic book items. My house full of comic book themed items I bought from Etsy and conventions throughout the country. This industry started years ago, as something just for children, but along the way, those children became adults, and are still enthralled by these replicas ( including myself) So when I heard that Skelton Crew Studio produces items based on comic book items, including plushies, I wanted to see for myself how close they actually come to the real thing. Founded by Israel Skelton, Skelton Crew Studio makes officially licensed, high quality replicas. It started with keys for IDW‘s Locke and Key and now has included Hellboy and Chew and the always excellent Mouse Guard. Skelton Crew Studio certainly takes their job seriously and the love sure is not lost either, as both are evident in their attention to detail. I opened my package I got from the company in my mail, and found a treasure trove of items. It was like Xmas, and boy, do these guys deliver.

In the first item, I opened up, it was a replica of the Sushi Ono takeout carton, just like from the Chew comics.

A replica of Chogs from Chew!

Looks pretty dead on to me!!!

Let us take a look at one of the keys from Locke & Key.

Another dead on replica, as you can see how it looks like on this cover of Locke & Key.

The last item I opened up from Skelton Studios was a replica of Ogdru Jahad Amulet from Hellboy.

Much like what I saw in Hellboy: Seed of Destruction.
