Description	A comic book panel depicting the Marvel Comics character Gorilla-Man (Arthur Nagan)
Source	Scan
Article	Gorilla-Man
Portion used	One panel
Low resolution?	Small size unsuitable to use for high quality reproduction
Purpose of use	Image is used for purposes of illustration in the above-named article, a subject of public interest.
Replaceable?	Image is protected by copyright, therefore a free use alternative won't exist.
Other information	Although the picture is originally copyright, it is covered by fair use because: It is a low resolution copy of a comic book panel, hence, only a small portion of the commercial product; The use of the image will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to sell or distribute the original comic book; Copies of this image could not be used to make illegal copies of the comic book; The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of topics in the article. For a visual medium such as comic books, words alone cannot adequately describe the subject; The image is needed to differentiate one character with this name from an unrelated one of the same name;
