My Favorite Martian (1963-1966): An American sitcom about a professor of anthropology from Mars who crash-lands on Earth somewhere near Los Angeles. He is befriended by Tim, a newspaper reporter, who passes off the stranded Martian as his Uncle Martin. 

By the way, the newspaper reporter was played by Bill Bixby who went on to star as David Banner in The Incredible Hulk TV series (1977-1982): “Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.”

The stamp design, poster and text are from one of my favourite student projects. Each stamp depicts an iconic science fiction TV series from the 1960s. For a recap on the project, click here.

Cue the theme music…

The Twilight Zone (1959-1964): An American anthology series of stand-alone stories with unexpected plot twists. The Twilight Zone became famous for its opening title sequences. “You are travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone.” Two other series were produced from 1985–1989 and 2002–2003. 

The stamp design, poster and text are from one of my favourite student projects.* Each stamp depicts an iconic science fiction TV series from the 1960s. I’ve decided to post the artwork for the individual stamps ― one every week (or thereabouts) ― to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who (later this year). And because sci-fi stamps are cool.
