The Assassins Guild was the first Ankh-Morpork guild to issue their own stamps, and within these are, in my own opinion, some of the most attractive Discworld stamps and a couple close to the bottom of the pile. Those from the early days provide plenty of collector interest because of the creative ideas which were explored, and also from what could be called beginners errors. The guild remains one of the more prolific as a stamps issuer.

The first stamp was a Postage Paid, known by all as The Zombie
