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:
 * 1) It is a low resolution copy of a comic book cover.
 * 2) The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
 * 3) 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.
 * 4) It illustrates educational articles about the team depicted on the cover, the Avengers;
 * 5) 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.
 * 6) It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
 * 7) This is the first issue of the first volume of the series and is therefore considered historically significant.
