Fast Company reported that USPS released an initial batch of subjects for its 2027 stamp program on Nov. 9. The Mythical Creatures collection is described as featuring the five cryptids, while the broader lineup also includes a stamp commemorating baseball player Willie Mays and a series of whimsical watercolor unicorn designs.
According to Fast Company, the cryptid stamps were designed by Antonio Alcalá, a USPS art director, and illustrated by tattoo artist Nat Power. The collection places folklore-inspired subjects alongside more traditional commemorative and artistic approaches in the same initial program announcement.
Fast Company also describes the annual Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, as drawing tens of thousands of visitors, offering context for the cultural profile of one of the collection’s subjects. The supplied excerpt does not specify individual release dates, stamp denominations or the location of the USPS announcement.
