I'm no expert on the boys superhero sex scene videostamps. In fact, I can't remember the last time I used one (sorry, Mum). But the latest batch from the Royal Mail has me wanting to send letters to every corner of the universe.

The British postal service has released a wondrous new collection of artworks that will be featured on its tiny postage stamps, celebrating six classic science fiction novels by British writers.

Set to mark the 75th anniversary of HG Wells' death and the 70th anniversary of John Wyndham's classic novel The Day of the Triffidsbeing published, the collection features illustrations for Frankensteinby Mary Shelley, The Time Machineby HG Wells, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Childhood’s Endby Arthur C Clarke, Shikastaby Doris Lessing, and of course, The Day of the Triffids.

The artists behind the works are Sabina Šinko, Francisco Rodríguez, Thomas Danthony, Mick Brownfield, Matt Murphy, and Sarah Jones.

Here's a look at the stamp art, which I personally would like enlarged and framed on my wall.

If you need stamps, you can preorder these for £10.20 from the Royal Mail website, out April 15.

The Royal Mail has a long history of issuing special pop culture stamps, including Star Trekand James Bond, all of which are available on their site.
