(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 screenshot of part of an interior page of a comic book. It is of insufficient quality to be used for the purposes of printed reproduction.

Other information This image is from the interior page of a comic book. The copyright for this image is most likely owned by either the publisher of the comic (DC Comics) or the estate of the illustrator (Neal Adams) who produced the 1971 comic book Green Lantern (volume 1) #82. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of a single panel from an interior page of a comic book to illustrate the copyrighted character 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.
