Summary

Non-free media data
Description	The cover to the first hardcover edition of Fran by Jim Woodring, published by fantagraphics Books in 2013
Source	Fantagrpahics Books product page for Fran
Portion used	The entire front cover. Because the image is a book cover, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original book cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Other information	This image is from the Amazon link for the hardcover version of Jim Woodring's book, Fran. The image is only meant as an illustration of the cover of the book. Copyright of the image belongs to Jim Woodring, the author of the book.

Non-free media rationale for Fran (comics)
Article	Fran (comics)
Purpose of use	To illustrate the main infobox of the Fran (comics) article. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work of comics for which it serves as cover art. As it is a work of comics, it makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. It also illustrates the style of artwork found within the book. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the book cover creator's ability to provide book cover design services and in turn marketing books to the public.
Replaceable?	Copyrighted comic and artwork; by nature, no freely-licensed alternative exists. As a book cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the book would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using a different image in the infobox would be misleading as to the identity of the work.
