Dave McKean - you know, the guy who did all of the most amazing Sandman comic covers, directed MirrorMask, illustrates all kinds of other Neil Gaiman work? - has been commissioned by the Royal Mail to create a series of stamps depicting mythical creatures.

You can buy them starting today. The presentation pack includes short bits written by Neil Gaiman. They're gorgeous and the presentation pack is about $7 US.

Worth it. I've bought mine already.
