1 photographed partial panel of a E. Simms Campbell comic.

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

1. It representatively illustrates an educational article about a once popular, once widely-appreciated comic artist/ illustrator of the past; its inclusion in the article adds significantly to understanding it because it is a historical sample of the art that is the subject of the article, and depicts matters covered in the critical commentary.
2. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
3. It is of much lower resolution than and only a portion of the original panel (copies made from it would be of very inferior quality unsuitable for any commercial purpose).
4. It is not in any way replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image pertinent to the article subject, because the whole body of published work under discussion would be similarly copyrighted.
