Copyrighted

This is a copyrighted digital image of the cover art for a forthcoming comic book that has been released by a company or organization to promote the issue, series or intellectual property depicted in the media, via advertising material, solicitation information, press releases or as part of a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide source information as evidence of ownership.

It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of promotional material

  • to illustrate the work, product or intellectual property in question;
  • in the absence of free images that could serve such a purpose;
  • on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Copyrights for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.


[edit] Fair use rationale for Storm

This image, Stormbpmarriage.PNG, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Onomatopoeia 09:28, 30 November 2006 (UTC)) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. No free alternative can exist given the likeness of the character Storm is a trademark and thus protected;
  2. It is a low resolution copy of a comic book cover;
  3. The image was released to the media to promote the issue in question, issue 18 Black Panther;
  4. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the comic book in any way;
  5. Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the comic book cover art on another comic book;
  6. The image is significant; it was created by a notable comic book artist, Michael Turner. It is the cover to a notable issue, which marries Storm to Black Panther, a move explicitly made by Marvel Comics editor Joe Quesada to push the sales of both characters [2], and this issue ties in to the major Civil War storyline of the acclaimed author Mark Millar of 2006.
