Copyrighted

This image is of the cover of a single issue of a comic book, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the comic book or the artist(s) which produced the comic book cover in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of covers of individual issues of comic books help

  • to illustrate:
    • the issue of the comic book in question;
    • the periodical comic book series of which this issue is a part; or
    • the copyrighted comic book character(s) or group(s) on the cover of the issue in question;
  • where no free alternative exists or can be created,
  • 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. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use 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 for Bad girl art

This image, picture-fair-use.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Smerdis of Tlön) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. it is a low resolution copy of a comic book cover;
  2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the comic book in any way;
  3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the comic;
  4. the subject of the article in which it is used is specifically about this sort of character and this sort of art;
  5. the subject of the article is a trend in commercially published comic books starting in the 1980s, and as such no public domain images are possible that accurately depict the subject matter.
