Announced: 9 November 2026. Checked: 14 November. Planned release year: 2027.
Mothman, Sasquatch, Champ, the Jackalope and the Squonk are joining the U.S. Postal Service’s planned 2027 stamp programme. The five subjects form a Mythical Creatures set announced on 9 November.
Regional legends become stamp subjects
The selection brings together folklore associated with West Virginia, the Pacific Northwest, Lake Champlain, Wyoming and Pennsylvania. USPS presents the creatures as cultural and legendary subjects, rather than verified animals.
Artist Nat Power created the digital illustrations, with USPS art direction and stamp design by Antonio Alcalá. The announcement describes bold linework and strong colours.
An announcement, with details still to come
USPS says this is only part of its 2027 programme and that the preliminary designs may change. The announcement does not give a release date for this set. It should not be read as a claim that these stamps are already available.
For UKPX, this is a cultural development showing how regional mystery stories reach a wider audience. The conceptual illustration here is separate from the official stamp artwork.
