Regarding your questions
''Question No.1: I need a clarification about copyright. If I scan an image myself (for example a character or a comic book cover) and upload it, which copyright tag do I use and how do I state the source formally? Question No.2: Is it allowed to use images from the official Marvel.com website (especially comic book covers for adding them to incomplete lists) and how do I source these images? Question No. 3: Is there an infobox available for comic books?''


 * 1) For an actual physical comic book cover, use Comiccover. If it is one of the promotional digital images Marvel and DC release, with no logo or text on, use Promocomic. For interior art use either Comicpanel or Comicscene depending on whether it's a single panel or a sequence of panels.  To state the source formally there's some guidance at WikiProject Comics/copyright:
 * 2) * Physical source of the scan, i.e. if sourced from a web-site the actual paper source, Awesome Super Duper Comixxxxxx #874 (June, 1942), on page 39.
 * 3) **Note: Not all comics have numbered pages, therefore please count only the story pages - i.e. exclude the covers, any ad pages, letter pages etc.
 * 4) * The source of the scan - if scanned in by uploader, say so; otherwise give link to the website.
 * 5) * The resolution of the image.
 * 6) * Copyright information of the owner.
 * 7) * The artists (and writers for interior sourced images) of the image in question.
 * 8) * A fair use rationale.
 * 9) You can add images from Marvel.com as long as you attribute as above, but we don't allow images purely for decoration, it needs to be illustrating a point critically discussed within the article. There's no consensus on how that works with lists at the moment, I think. See3 Fair use/Fair use images in lists.
 * 10) We have the Supercbbox, I believe that's for comic book titles, see WikiProject Comics/templates for more details. Hope that all helps. Steve block Talk 20:39, 13 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, this was very helpful, thank you for adding the most important tags and links. Don't worry, before doing some major edits, I will study the Comcis project guidelines and the current discussions to get an overview. I just needed some information to begin with - and you supplied me with these information by answering my three most urgent questions :) Thanks again, Incredible Nightcrawler 22:08, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
