Summary
[edit]Fair use for Paul Ryan (comic artist)
[edit]Though this image, which I have myself scanned from the printed Fantastic Four #358 (dated November, 1991) comic book, is subject to copyright © by Marvel Characters, Inc., its use here is regardless covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
- The cover image representatively illustrates an educational article about the comic book artist who drew this particular cover art, and who is best-known as the artist of this title; its inclusion in the article adds significantly to understanding the text because it is a historical sample of the Fantastic Four art covered in the critical commentary. Furthermore, the specific issue shown is one referenced in the text. Therefore the image substantially improves the educational value of the article.
- The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article section's topic, which directly concerns a visual artist and his work on the comic book depicted.
- It is of much lower resolution than the original, 250x391 pixels, and the cover only is shown. Any potential copies made from it would be of very inferior quality and unsuitable for any commercial purpose. The image is not used here for profit, and its use on Wikipedia does not compete with the copyright holder, Marvel Comics, and such use does not decrease the value of the copyright to its holder.
- It is not in any way replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image pertinent to the work referenced in the article, because the whole body of work by Ryan on the Fantastic Four (and other Marvel Comics characters) under discussion in this section of the article is © Marvel Characters, Inc.
