| Source (WP:NFCC#4) |
|
| Date of publication | see Source above; covers are also currently published at several online comic book archives such as source above. |
| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Big Boy Restaurants |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | Covers 1-4 are exempt (pre-1964, copyright expired without renewal); covers 5-7 are specific to the merging of the books in 1969, and the last cover specific to the first issue of a book published by Shoney's not Marriott. These covers substantially support discussion in the article text. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
The last four covers substantially support discussion in the article text and no free use alternative images are available. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | Displays only a selected sample of comic book cover pages at reduced scale. The last four covers relate to specific events. Three covers are necessary to show merger. One cover is needed to show (launch of) independent book. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
Composition is transformative to original use. Comic books were not sold but given free to customers. Issues were not republished and copyright owners have no intent to republish, either for sale or business promotion. The last book was published by a different company, no longer affiliated with Big Boy, and commercial opportunity is not possible. |
| Other information | This composition is transformative (fair use, factor one). Being a composition, the original sized posted image (746 x 541) should be maintained. Each individual cover (186 x 270) is similar in size or smaller than other copyrighted comic book cover art at Wikipedia (Examples for comparison: Superman #1 (300 × 423), Beano (300 × 413), Fantastic Four (233 × 351), The Flash (300 × 440).) |
