[edit] Fair use rationale

No free alternative can exist given the likeness of the character the Phantom is a trademark and thus protected.. It is a low resolution copy of a comic book cover that doesn't even show the cover in its entirity (check out this site to see the cover in its original form: http://www.deepwoods.org/usa/dc_m01.jpg); The image was released to the media to promote the issue in question, issue 1 of The Phantom miniseries, DC Comics 1988; It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the comic book in any way; Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the comic book cover art on another comic book; The image is significant; it was created by a notable comic book artist, Joe Orlando. It is the first issue of DC Comics run with the character, and it identifies the Phantom in an iconic, easily recognizable matter. --Kit Walker 09:14, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

To add to the above, fair use for this image is claimed, specifically, in the article The Phantom (for the identificational and informational purposes outlined above). --Aquillion 05:43, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
