Fair use rationale

It is believed that this image, JournalDeSpirou-01.jpg, is subject to fair use in the article Spirou (magazine) because:

• This particular image is considered significant because it was the first one published
• This image illustrates the text next to which it appears, which describes the character portrayed
• The image is used for identification and critical commentary of the article subject
• It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
• It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the work in any way.
• This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
• The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the original work.
• No free or public domain images have been located for this item.

Licensing
