Man Of Steel !

Stamp collectors will be excited by a unique set of stamps and collectables that has been issued by Jersey Post to celebrate the forthcoming release of Man of Steel, the new Superman movie starring Henry Cavill, who was born and educated in Jersey, Channel Islands.
The stamps feature a number of innovative printing techniques, each paying tribute to the Man of Steel’s super powers and brought together for the first time in one issue.

Jersey Post’s Philatelic Bureau started work on the project almost two years ago, opening discussions with the Henry Cavill Management Team as soon as it was announced who would be taking the lead role in the movie. Warner Bros. Pictures have also been actively involved in all the concept and development of the project, which received Royal approval this month.

Sally Diamond, Head of Philatelic at Jersey Post said: ‘This is an incredibly exciting day for Jersey Post. We are renowned for producing innovative and highly collectible stamp issues that reflect important cultural and historic moments with relevance to Jersey, such as the hologram stamp we issued last year to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. On this occasion we have produced a stunning set of stamps, which were inspired not only by a momentous cinematic occasion but also by the talent that this small island is capable of producing.’ 

A lenticular miniature sheet has also been produced which, when tilted, shows the Man of Steel flying across the face of the image. It has a face value of £3..
