The U.S. Postal Service long ago eschewed honoring real American heroes in favor of "reel" heroes in order to sell more stamps. Thus, while it took decades of petitioning to get the most honored American soldier in history, Audie Murphy, his own second-rank stamp issued, it was smooth sailing for The Wolf Man, Dracula and Looney Toons characters. Not to be outdone, Britain's Royal Mail has gotten into the entertainment business. The service recently issued Ian Fleming/James Bond stamps and has now released commemorative editions of the Hammer horror and Carry On films. The shrewd idea is that many collectors will purchase the stamps but not use them. (Would grandma really like getting her Christmas card with a photo of Christopher Lee sucking a chick's neck?)
