The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
The image is taken from a single comic strip panel, which will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the book.
It is a low resolution image.
The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
The character and comic strip are copyrighted, and so it is impossible to replace the image with an uncopyrighted or freely licensed image.

This image is an illustration of a character or characters in a comic book, video game, or animated television program or film. The copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher/producer and/or artist(s) producing the work in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of character artwork:
