Other information

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. It illustrates an educational article about the comic-book series from which the cover illustration was taken, and which places the image within a historical, informational context.
  2. Comic books are a primarily visual medium, and an article on a comic-book series cannot adequately describe the topic without visual illustration.
  3. The image is from the cover of the historically significant first issue of Tales of the Zombie, which introduced the Marvel Comics character the Zombie
  4. The use of the cover 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.
  5. It is a low-resolution image.
  6. The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
  7. The characters and the comic book are copyrighted, and so the image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.

Purpose of use

Illustration of article topic, a comic-book character. Comic books are a primarily visual medium, and an article on a comic-book series cannot adequately describe the topic without visual illustration. The image is from the cover of the historically significant first issue.

Replaceable?

No free use image available. As these are fictional, copyrighted characters and a copyrighted publication, a freely-licensed alternative could not reasonably be obtained.
