Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	An image scan of a portion of a 2009 digital illustration by comic book artist George Pérez (1954-2022) and colorist Tom Smith depicting the DC Comics character Circe, whom Pérez originally designed in 1988.
Author or copyright owner	DC Comics (publisher), George Pérez (illustrator), Tom Smith (colorist)
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=534483
Date of publication	2009
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Circe (character)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	This image depicts the Post-Crisis of Infinite Earths (Modern Era) DC Comics character Circe by her originating artist George Pérez (1954-2022), as she appeared in DC Comics publications between 1988 and 1994 -- a key period in the character's history. Because the Wikipedia article discusses the evolution of the character across several different comic book eras and several forms of media, this image is provided for the purposes of context and comparison.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	Because comics are a highly visual medium, it is sometimes necessary to provide illustrations to adequately define and represent the objects of discussion in a Wikipedia article.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This is a low-resolution scan of part of a digital illustration of a comic book character by that character's originating artist. It has been widely duplicated on the internet and is of insufficient quality to be used for the purposes of printed reproduction.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
Other information	This image is a cropped portion of a 2009 digital illustration of the DC Comics character Circe, by that character’s originating artist George Pérez (1954-2022), with colors by comic book colorist Tom Smith. The copyright for this image is most likely owned by either the publisher of the character (DC Comics) or the estate of the illustrator (George Pérez) or the colorist (Tom Smith), or all three. It is believed that the use of low-resolution screenshots to illustrate the copyrighted character depicted; 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, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/copyright for more information.
