Several folks have written to inform me that the Batman image on the forthcoming DC stamps is from a cover by Jim Lee and Scott Williams. And almost all who wrote wondered why I didn't mention that the Green Lantern image was by Neal Adams from the first of the famous Green Lantern-Green Arrow issues. I don't know why I didn't do that.
Also, Kurt Busiek informs me that the post office press release (which I hadn't seen) says the art on the Plastic Man stamp is by Dick Giordano. I'm pretty sure it's from that eighties style guide I mentioned, where most of the art was by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez and/or Dick Giordano. Maybe that drawing was just Dick but at that size, it's hard to tell.
By the way: Last evening, I called Paul Norris, the co-creator of Aquaman, to say howdy and to tell him that his character's going to be on a stamp. Paul, who is now 91 or thereabouts, was quite pleased to hear the news.
Warner has had the connections/clout to get the WB characters (Bugs Bunny, et al) on stamps and now the DC heroes. How long do we think it'll be before we see this?
