New DuoStamps

The Belgian Post Office has released two new issues in its collection of DuoStamps, which is something of a cross between a crass commercial manoeuvre and a genuine attempt to generate fuzz about Belgian comics.

After a couple of Tintin-related sets, and a set commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Smurfs, these sets feature Roger Leloup’s Yoko Tsuno (mostly art cut from the album covers in the series) and Largo Winch by Franq and Van Hamme (with images from the album covers and recent story material).

I’m guessing they will become available from the Post’s eShop at a certain point…
