No. The 2006 USPS DC Comics Super Heroes stamps are 39-cent commemorative stamps, not Forever stamps. Each unused genuine stamp still provides 39 cents of postage.
What is in the pane?
The pane has 20 designs: ten character portraits and ten classic comic-book covers.
The featured heroes are Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Batman, The Flash, Plastic Man, Aquaman, Supergirl, and Hawkman.
Can the stamps still be used?
Yes. Add the printed values and combine them with other valid postage until the total meets the current requirement. Weight, size, shape, rigidity, destination, and services can change that amount.
