The unique 68p stamp is printed with thermochromic ink; when warmth is applied, for example by holding it with your fingertips, the earth is revealed behind the Man of Steel.

GRANITE STAMP

Crushed granite taken from just one pebble on Beauport beach, which is Henry Cavill’s favourite place in Jersey, is applied to the face of each 80p thermographic stamp to give its rough, tactile finish.

GLOW IN THE DARK STAMP

Printed with glow-in-the-dark ink, the 88p stamp reveals a hidden message from the Man of Steel’s Kryptonian father, Jor-El. The words are visible only in darkness.
