Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale true for Steve Ditko
Description	Single panel, approximately one half of one comic-book page, published in various DC Comics comic books, including Batman #322 and The Legion of Super-Heroes #262 (both cover-dated April 1980)
Source	http://www.ditko-fever.com/dcprofile58.html
Article	Steve Ditko
Portion used	single half-page panel as published; a 1/72nd portion of a single 36-page comic book
Low resolution?	low, unsuitable to use for high-end reproduction. It is sized at the minimum width necessary to make the text caption, an integral part of the image, legible, and to render each of these characters, created by the article subject, with details visually readable.
Purpose of use	Illustration of the artist's work. Comic books are a visual medium, and no encyclopedia article about a comic book artist can be reasonably comprehensive without examples of his art. This single panel, made as a promotional piece, allows for a depiction of several characters that the artist created, all in one place, vastly minimizing the need to use more than one source to give examples of his work — in particular, his 1970s and early 1980s DC Comics work, which is a major section in this educational article about the artist, a figure of public interest.
Replaceable?	No free-use image available. As these are fictional, copyrighted characters, a freely-licensed alternative could not reasonably be obtained.
