Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free book cover true for Saga (comic book)
Description	This is the front cover art for the book Saga (comics) written by Brian K. Vaughan. The book cover art copyright is believed to belong to the publisher, Image Comics, or the cover artist.
Source	May be found at the following website: http://www.comicsbulletin.com/main/news/press-release-image-comics-saga-1-brian-k-vaughan-and-fiona-staples-sells-out-gets-reprint.
Article	Saga (comic book)
Portion used	The entire front cover. Because the image is a book cover, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original book cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the book cover creator's ability to provide book cover design services and in turn marketing books to the public.
Replaceable?	As a book cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the book would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using a different image in the infobox would be misleading as to the identity of the work.
Other information	Use of the book cover in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

Article	List of Saga characters
Portion used	The entire front cover. Because the image is a book cover, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original book cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	Provide context for the list. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. Purpose must be stated here. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the book cover creator's ability to provide book cover design services and in turn marketing books to the public.
Replaceable?	As a book cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the book would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.

Description	Cover to Saga #1 (March 2012). Art by Fiona Staples. Fair use for Punk Rock Jesus The image Saga1coverByFionaStaples.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright I (Karmeow (talk)) feel it is covered by fair use because: it does not limit the copyright owners rights to sell the comic book in any way; copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the comic book; the particular cover is considered significant because it was the first issue of the publication; the panel in question illustrates a noteworthy aspect of the character Alana, Marko, and Hazel; the scene in question illustrates an important and noteworthy aspect of the style of the artist, Fiona Staples.
Author or copyright owner	Brian K. Vaughan

Date of publication	March 14, 2012
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Saga (comic book)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	To serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the work in question.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	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.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	300 x 462px, unsuitable to use for high end reproduction.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	It is a low-resolution image of merely the issue's cover, which will not infringe upon the copyright owner's ability to profit from the image, and indeed, it was released to numerous comic book industry news outlets precisely for the purpose of promoting the series.

Licensing

qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
