Wonder Woman Stamps (GalleyCat)The United States Postal Service (U.S.P.S.) has established a partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment. The collaborators announced that a new set of Wonder Woman-themed stamps will be released to commemorate the character’s 75th anniversary.

The four different stamp designs will be unveiled at Comic-Con International: San Diego on July 23. A first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony has been scheduled to take place at New York Comic Con on October 7.

Here’s more from the press release: “First seen in October 1941 in a back-up story for All Star Comics #8, meant to test her appeal at a time when female superheroes were rare, Wonder Woman quickly broke out and headlined her own title by the next year. Subsequent generations came to know the star-spangled heroine with metal bracelets on her wrists and a magic lasso by her waist via her hit 1975-79 television series and roles in animated shows and movies, as well as her historic appearance on the cover Ms. Magazine #1 in 1972. This past March, Wonder Woman was seen for the first time in a live action motion picture with her introduction in the movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
