Bruce Lee, the nicest badass and America’s first Asian leading man, starred in more than 30 films and many TV shows. He’s perhaps best known for his five martial arts films, the spirit of which is captured in this new forever stamp. The black and white painting of Bruce Lee, in a mid-air kick, is complimented by yellow brushstrokes in a work created by Brooklyn-based artist Cam Mack, which represent his famous track suit in “The Game of Death.” Antonio Alcalá, an art director at the USPS, designed the now-iconic stamp. Sold as a sheet of 20 stamps.
