United Kingdom (1991)

Date of issue: February 5th, 1991
Name of issue: Good Luck
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 3/10

I just recentl;y discovered this series. The spider stamps are not so easy to spot as they are almost "hidden" details within the overall theme. The artwork of this series is really amazing and all the stamps of the strip combine to make one big image.
