Other information

All Quality Comics characters and the distinctive likeness(es) thereof were originally Trademarks & Copyright © c. 1940 Quality Comics.

The characters and the distinctive likeness(es) thereof were acquired by DC Comics in 1956. While some of the properties acquired did not have copyright and tradmarks renewed, some of those depicted here are Trademarks & Copyright © 1956-2008 DC Comics, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

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

  1. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic's early publication history and how that character was first depicted.
  2. The image is taken from a single comic book panel from a single comic book issue, which 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.
  3. It is a low resolution image.
  4. The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
  5. The character is copyrighted, and so it is impossible to replace the image with an uncopyrighted or freely licensed image.
