Aland (2011)

Date of issue: 2011
Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 1/3


I had seen this issue for a while, but I could not find any spider in it. I kept searching since one of the superheroe's name by Aland native Paul Gustafson is "Alias the Spider".

I eventually found a good quality image of the character and discovered that he has a spider drawing on his boots!
