[edit] Fair use rationale for Grant Morrison

This image of the main character of the comic book Animal Man, Animalman5.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Hiding Talk) feel it is covered by our fair use policy and the U.S. fair use laws because:

it is a low resolution copy of the cover to the fifth issue of the series;
it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the comic book itself or representations of the cover in any way;
copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the cover artwork in another comic book or cover collection;
the image is significant because it is of the series which first established Morrison within the American comic book industry;
the image is significant because it demonstrates the meta-fictional nature of the storyline Morrison created, a point which is critically discussed within the article;
the image illustrates the character of the comic book in question, and as such is discussed in the article;
the image allows the reader to understand the nature of the character and the work;
the image illustrates points made within the article regarding the artistic style used within the work
