Other information	Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because: It illustrates an educational article about the graphic novel from which this cover illustration of its sequel was taken. Comic books and graphic novels are visual media, and a comprehensive understanding of the comic-book or graphic-novel article topic is impossible without a visual representation. The image is used as one of the primary means of visual identification of the article topic, a historically significant, very early graphic novel. The image is from a historically significant comics magazine that was one of the first to use the then-nascent and still-evolving term "graphic novel" 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 comic book. It is a low-resolution image. The image is only a small portion of the commercial product. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
