WASHINGTON – If you’re a fan of DC Comics superheroes – and who isn’t – you might want to plan a trip to the post office to pick up the recently issued stamps honoring Batman. Or, if you can stand the wait, order them online at www.usps.com .

This month the USPS released the new sheet of 20 Forever stamps featuring depictions of Batman from four different comic-book eras. In addition to images of Batman in action, each sheet includes four versions of circular Bat-Signal stamps. Be careful — they could easily be mistaken for thumb-size stickers.

A sheet of 20 Batman Forever stamps costs $9.80. It’s a small price for such amazing art.
