Throughout history and across the globe, from Europe to the Middle East to Asia to the Americas, people have enjoyed tales of dragons. Though these legendary animals vary in shape, size, and color, they're most often described as lizard-like with four legs, sharp claws, scales, wings, and spiky tails.
As time passed, dragons never lost their aura. In the 20th century, the beasts showed their might in the pages of countless fantasy novels. In recent years, the creatures have appeared in popular board games, books, television programs, and movies, and take many forms, from cute and cuddly to big and ferocious. Today, through the power of our imagination, dragons continue to roar.
The stamps feature digital illustrations created by artist Don Clark of Invisible Creature studio. Art director Greg Breeding designed the issuance.
