Big Band Leaders: Glenn Miller Artist: Bill Nelson Medium: Gouache and colored pencil on paper Art director: Howard E. Paine First day of issue: September 11, 1996

Based on a publicity photograph, this colored-pencil drawing of Glenn Miller successfully captures the creative spirit of the great bandleader. Miller appears to be moving up and out of the stamp frame at an angle that suggests both action and purpose.
