Non-free media rationale for Captain America
Article	Captain America
Purpose of use	Illustration of a specific point within the article. Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because: It illustrates an educational article about the publisher of the comic book from which the cover illustration was taken, and which places the image within a historical, informational context. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification within the article of Captain America Comics #1. The image is from the comic in which Captain America first appeared, an issue that is therefore of historical significance to the character and that is discussed at length in the article. The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the book. The character and comic book are copyrighted, and so the image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
