In a Feb. 16 issue of 17 stamps, Great Britain’s Royal Mail celebrates the X-Men, mutant superheroes who fight against enemies in comic books, movies, television shows and more.
The X-Men franchise marks its 60th anniversary in 2023; Marvel Comics published the first issue of the X-Men comic book in 1963.
Royal Mail’s X-Men issue includes 12 stamps in two horizontal se-tenant (side-by-side) strips of six, and a souvenir sheet of five stamps. The 12 stamps have traditional stamp gum, while the stamps in the souvenir sheet are self-adhesive.
The stamps in one strip of six are valued at the second-class rate (currently 68p), and the stamps in the other are valued at the first-class rate (currently 95p).
A souvenir sheet with four first-class stamps and one £1.85 stamp features the villains.
