Image of Marvel Comics' S'ym

Scanned from X-Men vol.1 #160 (August, 1982)

Pencils by Brent Anderson

[edit] Fair use rationale for S'ym

This image, Symface.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (steve_vortex) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. No free alternative can exist given the likeness of the character is a trademark and thus protected;
  2. It is a low resolution copy of a comic book illustration;
  3. The illustration is significant because it shows the character as he was originally depicted.
  4. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the comic book in any way;
  5. Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the comic book cover art on another comic book;
