This image, Giant-Size X-Men (no. 1 - cover).jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Onomatopoeia 09:35, 30 November 2006 (UTC))feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. No free alternative can exist given the likeness of the character Storm is a trademark and thus protected;
  2. It is a low resolution copy of a comic book cover;
  3. The image was released to the media to promote the issue in question, issue 1 Giant Size X-Men;
  4. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the comic book in any way;
  5. Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the comic book cover art on another comic book;
  6. The image is significant; it was created by two notable comic book artists, Gil Kane and Dave Cockrum. It is the cover to one of the most important X-Men issues of all time, voted fifth most important Marvel Comic of all time by Wizard magazine in 2001 (100_Greatest_Marvels), and establishes Storm as an important pop culture figure, as she is clearly seen in the top right corner of the cover of this groundbreaking comic.
