Purpose of use

Illustration of specific points within the articles. Comic books are a visual medium, and no article about a comic-book artist can be comprehensive and encyclopedic without limited, targeted examples of his or her comic art. The article discusses Steranko's three issues of Captain America, significant as one of only two Marvel Comics superhero series he ever illustrated; no X-Men image is used here, so this is the article's sole example of his Marvel superhero work. As well, as the caption for this image at the article states, this image represents an example of Steranko's "trademark surrealism"; this artist's specific take on that school of art, which was rare if not unprecedented in comic books in 1969, could not be adequately described by text alone and is a significant part of the artist's notability.
