[edit] Rationale

The rationale is provided according to the Wikipedia non-free content use criterion checklist.

No free equivalent. This is a specific piece of art produced by a specific artist. It is not possible for anyone else to create a free equivalent. The artist himself is dead.
Commercial opportunity respected. The image is very small and the character is put out of context on this particular image (i.e. not as part of a whole page or even a whole panel). Therefore, it doesn't hurt commercial opportunities at all.
It respects the minimal use and low resolution guidelines.
It had a previous publication.
Encyclopedic content The image used to describe the character on the article written specifically on the character. The article has enough critical commentary on the character.
It meets the Image use policy: (a) tagged with image copyright tags; (b) used the image description page; (c) has a clear detailed title; (d) is in proper resolution; (e) properly cropped; (f) color alone not used; (g) proper image format; (h) no alternative text available; (i) thumbnail size not specified; (j) not shocking or explicit.
Used in one article minimum
Significant. No comic-book character (or any other piece of art) can be satisfactorily depicted without a visual representation. It adds about as much value as the text on the article.
Respects the restriction on location.
The image description page includes - (a) proper attribution; (b) appropriate fair use tag; (c) rationale is clear and is in plain language.
