Non-free media rationale for Scorpion (Atlas/Seaboard Comics)
Article	Scorpion (Atlas/Seaboard Comics)
Purpose of use	The image is used as the sole image to illustrate the article's subject, a comic-book character. This is a historically notable cover of a first issue. Comic books are a visual medium, and an image of the product is necessary for a significant understanding of the subject. The image is being used in an informative way. As only a cover of a single issue, the image does not limit the ability of either the defunct Atlas/Seaboard or creator Howard Chaykin to sell the issue from which it came. It does not stand in the place of (potential) future reprints. The publication is the subject of the critical commentary.
Replaceable?	No free use image available. As this is a fictional, copyrighted character and a copyrighted publication, a freely-licensed alternative could not reasonably be obtained.
