WASHINGTON — The U.S. Postal Service is releasing a slew of new stamps in 2016, and fans of “Star Trek,” Shirley Temple, pickup trucks and Sarah Vaughan are in for a treat.

“Our stamps articulate the American experience through miniature works of art,” Acting Stamp Services Director Mary-Anne Penner said in a statement.

Have a look at the new issues for Forever, 1-cent, 5-cent and Priority Mail stamps, as well as release information where available. For more information from the Postal Service, click here.
