Mothman, Bigfoot, Jackalope, and Squonk Official USPS Stamps in 2027

The U.S. Postal Service announced its 2027 stamp subjects on November 9, and one set is pure Monsterologist territory. The Mythical Creatures set puts five of America’s best-known cryptids on postage: Mothman, the Jackalope, the Squonk, Sasquatch, and Champ.

Artist Nat Power drew all five digitally in bold black linework with vivid colors inspired by tattoo art, and USPS art director Antonio Alcalá designed the set. The designs shown so far are preliminary and could change before release, and USPS says this is only a partial list of 2027 subjects, with more to come in the following weeks and months.

Each stamp carries a little of the lore. Mothman is the flying, red-eyed figure first reported in Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966. The Jackalope leapt into Western legend after Wyoming taxidermist brothers created the antlered rabbit mashup in the 1930s. The Squonk comes from old Pennsylvania lumbermen’s lore, a self-conscious creature that wept constantly and is now a beloved symbol of anxiety. Sasquatch needs no introduction, and Champ has been the mascot of the Lake Champlain region of New York and Vermont for centuries.

That is a strong lineup for anyone who collects cryptid art, and it reads like a checklist of the creatures Monsterologist has been drawing for years. The Mothman collection starts with the Mothman Squadron Point Pleasant patch. The Jackalope collection has the Jackalope Cute patch and sticker, and the Squonk Sad sticker gives Pennsylvania’s weepiest cryptid his due. Bigfoot collectors can grab the Bigfoot Patrol sticker, and Lake Champlain travelers have the Lake Champlain travel patch for Champ’s home waters.

There is no exact release date yet, only 2027. USPS says more 2027 subjects are coming in the weeks and months ahead, and the stamp designs shown so far are preliminary.
