Licensing

This image is from a comic strip, webcomic or from the cover or interior of a comic book. The copyright for this image is most likely owned by either the publisher of the comic or the writer(s) and/or artist(s) which produced the comic in question. It is believed that

the use of low-resolution images of the cover of a comic book to illustrate:
- the issue of the comic book in question;
- the periodical comic book series of which this issue is a part; or
- the copyrighted comic book character(s) or group(s) on the cover of the issue in question;
or the use of low-resolution images of a single panel from a comic strip or an interior page of a comic book to illustrate:
- the scene or storyline depicted, or
- the copyrighted character(s) or group(s) depicted on the excerpted panel in question;
where no free alternative exists or can be created,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

Fair use

Fair use rationale for Avengers (comics)

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

It is a low resolution copy of a comic book cover.
The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
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 comic book.
It illustrates educational articles about the team depicted on the cover, the Avengers;
The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of topics in the article, specifically, the team and its origins. For a visual medium such as comic books, words alone cannot adequately describe the subject.
It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
This is the first issue of the first volume of the series and is therefore considered historically significant.
