It’s the best of all worlds, part Illustrated Classics part comic book collecting and part stamp collecting all wrapped in up nicely drawn comics and stories… If you’re lucky you can find a few online through Golden Age Comics (UK).
1952 Thrilling Adventures in Stamps Comics depicting the Hindenburg story; these comics looked to a them from a particular stamp and based the sotryline for that issue around the stamp – several among which also included Golden and Silver Age War themed comics, check out the Iwo Jima edition.
Westerns were also extremely popular in the Golden and Silver ages, that not even Thrilling Adventures in Stamps could overlook their appeal. So, taking a cue from the USPS’ stamp commemorating the Pony Express, they cooked up the following four-page yarn drawn by Ed Goldfarb and inked by Bob Baer… Check out The Thrilling Adventures In Stamps presents, The Pony Express!
