Paul Ryan Phantom daily

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

1. It representatively illustrates an educational article about a comic strip artist; its inclusion in the article adds significantly to understanding it because it is a sample of the art recently produced by the subject of the article, and his work on the Phantom is specifically referenced in the critical commentary.
2. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality unsuitable for any commercial purpose).
3. It is not in any way replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image pertinent to the article subject, because the whole body of work for this character which the artist produces is copyrighted.

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, 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.
