26th/27th July 2022: Spider-Man, Germany

Spider-Man is a character in the comics of the US publisher Marvel. Although there were to this date many character using the alias Spider-Man, the most famous and original one is Peter Parker, a young man bitten by a radioactive spider which grants him super powers. He was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko and had his first appearance in 1962. To this date he is one of the most popular comic characters of all time. Aside from comics Spider-Man appeared in multiple other forms of media including movies, TV shows, video games and even a musical. In live action movies Peter Parker was played by Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and most recently Tom Holland, the latter version being part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Spider-Man: No Way Home is currently on 7th spot in the list of highest-grossing movies. To celebrate Spider-Man's 60th anniversary a stamp was issued in Germany on 7th July 2022. I used it on these three matching cards and got the First Day Special Postmarks. The stamp marked the beginning of a stamp series about Super Heroes.
