Briefed November 11, 2026 · Aliens in the Clouds
Announced for 2027 · Designs preliminary
The U.S. Postal Service’s November 10 preview lists a Mythical Creatures set among the stamps planned for 2027. The five subjects are Sasquatch, Mothman, the Lake Champlain creature known as Champ, the Jackalope and the Squonk. Artist Nat Power drew the creatures, and USPS art director Antonio Alcalá designed the stamps.
The set sits alongside separate Halloween and unicorn designs in the preview. The Postal Service describes the lineup as partial and the designs as subject to change. The announcement is about how these stories have become part of American folklore, and the preview gives readers an early look at the artwork.
Why it matters
Regional legends rarely share a national stage. Seeing them together makes it easier to ask what turns a local story into a character people recognize across the country.
