A magazine cover featuring the late Steve Irwin would be a popular option for an Australia Post stamp, according to an online poll.

Voting in an online poll by New Idea has the wildlife warrior well in front of other contenders including Princess Mary, Bec and Lleyton Hewitt and Nicole Kidman.

Australia Post have announced they will soon reproduce a New Idea cover featuring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in the form of a 50 cent stamp.

The magazine was last week voted Magazine of the Year at the Magazine Publishers of Australia annual awards.

Any Steve Irwin stamp would join other current stamps such as the Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix series, the Brisbane Broncos series and the Looney Tunes characters series.

Another gossip magazine favourite - the Queen - has already been issued a 2007 birthday stamp by Australia Post.
