[edit] Fair use for Futurama Comics

The image Futurama Comics US-1.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright it is believed that it is covered by fair use because:

the particular cover is considered significant because it was the first issue of the publication;
Its reduced resolution from the original (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the comic book;
It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the work in any way.
it is used on other websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
