Celebrate the Century [Super Heroes Stamp Album] #3
"Prohibition: The Failed Experiment" explores the cultural ripple effects of a nation at odds with itself, spotlighting the rise of jazz and the legendary musicians who defined an era—Jelly Roll Morton, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong, and Fats Waller—whose music flourished in defiance of the times. Written by Doug Moench and brought to life with dynamic art by Joe Staton, inks by Mike DeCarlo, colors by Tom Ziuko, and letters by Phil Felix, this 1998 DC/USPS stamp album issue captures a pivotal moment in American history through the lens of music and rebellion. The cover, by Jerry Ordway and Dick Giordano, perfectly frames the spirit of the age.
