List of fictional characters on stamps of the United States

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


This article lists fictional characters that have been featured on United States postage stamps, listed by their name, the year they were first featured on a stamp (some common national symbolic characters have appeared many times on stamps, only the first appearance is noted by year), and a very short description of their notability.

For the purpose of this list, "featured" may mean:

  1. The likeness of a character,
  2. The name of a character, or
  3. Characters who have neither their likeness nor name on a stamp, but are documented by the United States Postal Service as being the subject of a stamp.
