The stamps, to be issued October 7, showcase the superhero's
costume evolution from her World War II origins to her most recent
incarnation leading up to the June 2 standalone "Wonder Woman" movie starring Gal Gadot.
The postal service announced the stamps at San Diego Comic-Con in
partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment.
The stamp sheets feature four different stamp designs depicting Wonder
Woman during the comic book eras: Golden Age (1941-55), Silver Age
(1956-72), Bronze Age (1973-86) and Modern Age (1987-present).
The top row of stamps use show Wonder Woman in the Modern Age as she
wears her beloved costume while wielding a hammer and hearkening back to
her Greek mythology background. The second row of stamps shows Bronze
Age Wonder Woman as she defends herself in battle using
bullet-deflecting bracelets. The third row of stamps gives fans the
Silver Age superhero holding onto her golden lasso of truth.
This isn't the first time USPS has honored Wonder Woman on stamps. In 2006, a Wonder Woman stamp with art by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito debuted alongside other stamps featuring fellow superheroes Aquaman, Batman, The Flash, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Plastic Man, Supergirl and Superman.
