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;
5. This image is not an accurate reproduction of the cover of the original comic book.
6. It differs in the following ways:

    Text stating "DON'T MISS THIS FABULOUS FIRST ISSUE" is in White Text in Green Text Box
    Blue streaks shown near 'Angel' are not present on the original cover.
    Stripes on 'Magneto' are all red on the original cover.
    No Green circle box around "IN THE SENSATIONAL FANTASTIC FOUR STYLE"
