A Special Message from Stan Lee Dear Friend, I never imagined that characters I created such as Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and the Hulk would end up on actual u.s. stamps! But now, I see them staring up at me from real stamps ... and I'm thrilled to know that fans everywhere can share my passion for these and other Marvel characters. I was even more ecstatic to be involved in a brand new collection that transforms these postage stamps into limited-edition silver stamp ingots, along with other Marvel Comics characters on matching silver medallions.
