Non-free media rationale for Atlas Comics (1950s)
Article

Atlas Comics (1950s)

Purpose of use
  1. The image is used as the sole image to illustrate the "Humor and miscellanea" section about the article's subject, a comic-book publishing company known primarily for horror comics and Western comics. This is an historically notable cover of a first issue of a military-humor comic that, as discussed in the commentary with a cited reliable source, was the company's version of a popular television show. As the article discusses, it helps represent a pattern in which the company would take popular TV shows, comic strips and even comic books of other companies and create copycat versions.
  2. Comic books are a visual medium, and an image of the product is necessary for a significant understanding of the subject.
  3. The image is being used in an informative way.
  4. As only a cover of a single issue, the image does not limit the ability of either the publisher to sell the issue from which it came. It does not stand in the place of future reprints.
  5. The publication is the subject of the critical commentary.
Replaceable?
