The USPS quietly released the art for their upcoming Marvel superhero themed stamps for 2007. Most of the artist choices make sense, though why they used John Byrne art for Iron Man when Gene Colan makes much more sense is somewhat bewildering, as is the decision to use Spider-Woman at all. I also hope they don’t actually use Comic Sans as the font for the things, but overall, no complaints. Check out the trivia that’ll be printed on the backside and higher quality pics of the fronts after the jump.

Marvel Super Heroes will save the day when they arrive in July. The 10 stamps on a pane of 20 depict Captain America, Elektra, Iron Man, Silver Surfer, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Sub-Mariner, The Incredible Hulk, The Thing and Wolverine.

The other 10 stamps depict classic Marvel Comic book covers linked to the super heroes. Information about the artwork shown on each stamp appears on the back on the stamp pane.
