Classic Science Fiction

To be issued on 15 April 2021

A collection of six Special Stamps celebrating the imagination and artistic legacy of classic science fiction will be issued on 15 April 2021 by Royal Mail. The issue coincides with the 75th anniversary of the death of HG Wells and the 70th anniversary of the publication of The Day of the Triffids.

Each stamp features a unique interpretation by a different artist illustrating a seminal work by a classic British science fiction author. Two First Class, two £1.70 and two £2.55 stamps presented as three horizontal se-tenant pairs.

Two special edition science fiction postmarks will be given , commemorating the first day of issue.

The Tallents House postmark features an image of Frankenstein’s hand. The illustration on the alternative postmark represents HG Wells’ The Time Machine, and the location, London NW1, is a tribute to the house where Wells worked and died.

Inside the First Day Cover is an illustrated information card detailing a brief biography of the featured classic science fiction authors.

A set of six postcards will also be issued  featuring enlargements of Special Stamp illustrations celebrating classic British sci-fi stories.
