[edit] Fair use rationale for Planetary (comics)

2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the comic strip story itself or representations of the cover in any way;
3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the cover artwork in another comic book or cover collection;
4. the image is significant because it is by the artistic creator, John Cassaday;
5. the image illustrates the cast of the comic book in question, and as such discussed in the article;
6. the image allows the reader to understand the nature of the characters and the work;
7. the image illustrates points made within the article regarding the artistic style used within the work

This image is of a book cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover or the publisher of the book. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers to illustrate an article discussing the book in question 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 use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Please include in your fair use rationale details of the particular edition (publisher, market & year of publication) of the edition you have used, and also acknowledge any cover artist if such artist is acknowledged in that edition's frontmatter. If the book cover is in the public domain (see Wikipedia:Public domain), then use the appropriate public domain tag rather than this one.
