Afico-Man, new Israel stamp

Ofer B. comes through with another tip, and says about the above "It is a set of “Passover Hagadah” (the traditional text being read at Passover’s Eve) with a commemorative sheet and a stamp sheet of Afico-Men (a Superman-like character with Matzos in its hands)." Here's the Israeli Post website.

1960s Superman stamps?

Has anyone seen the three Superman stamps that were available by 1968?

Thanks to Ofer Berenstein for spotting this and sending it along.
