Hongkong Post will issue a set of special stamps themed on classic comic Old Master Q.

The comic series has been immensely popular with the Chinese community since the 1960s and has entertained generations in Hong Kong.

This is the first set of stamps themed on Old Master Q together with motifs imprinted on the gummed back of each stamp sheet as a special feature.

The set of eight $2 stamps features the comic’s characters with iconic spots and landmarks in the background that retain a local sense of humour.

The stamps and associated products will go on sale on December 5.

Stamp collectors can place additional orders online until December 4.
