  1. It is a low resolution copy of a comic book panel, hence, only a small portion of the commercial product;
  2. The use of the image will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to sell or distribute the original comic book;
  3. Copies of this image could not be used to make illegal copies of the comic book;
  4. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of topics in the article. For a visual medium such as comic books, words alone cannot adequately describe the subject;
