[edit] Summary

Alternate Cover to Black Panther #18, Art by Michael Turner

[edit] Fair use rationale for Storm (Marvel Comics)

This image, TurnerStorm.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Onomatopoeia 09:28, 30 November 2006 (UTC)) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. No free alternative can exist given the likeness of the character Storm is a trademark and thus protected;
2. It is a low resolution copy of a comic book cover;
3. The image was released to the media to promote the issue in question, issue 18 Black Panther;
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;
6. The image is significant; it was created by a notable comic book artist, Michael Turner. It is the cover to a notable issue, which marries Storm to Black Panther, a move explicitly made by Marvel Comics editor Joe Quesada to push the sales of both characters [1], and this issue ties in to the major Civil War storyline of the acclaimed author Mark Millar of 2006; and it identifies the character depicted, Storm in an iconic manner, with the copyright owner using the image for a $125 comic with variant cover [2] and promotional work.

[edit] Licensing

This image is from a comic strip, webcomic or from the cover or interior of a comic book. The copyright for this image is most likely owned by either the publisher of the comic or the writer(s) and/or artist(s) which produced the comic in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of the cover of a comic book to illustrate: the issue of the comic book in question; the periodical comic book series of which this issue is a part; or the copyrighted comic book character(s) or group(s) on the cover of the issue in question; or the use of low-resolution images of a single panel from a comic strip or an interior page of a comic book to illustrate: the scene or storyline depicted, or the copyrighted character(s) or group(s) depicted on the excerpted panel in question; where no free alternative exists or can be created, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/copyright for more information. To the uploader: please add a fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
