Fair use rationale
It is believed that this image, ModestyBlaise.jpg, is subject to fair use in the article Modesty Blaise because:
 * The image is used for identification and critical commentary of the article subject
 * The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the original work.
 * The image is used to provide a sample of the comic book artist's work
 * The image is a web-resolution image, of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
 * It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the work in any way.
 * No free or public domain images may be located for this item.
 * It depicts a fictional subject, a character, that is copyrighted. It would be impossible to create a replacement image which would not be subject to the original author's copyright.
 * The image substantially improves the article it is in.
 * It is used in Wikipedia only for educational purposes and is not used for profit.
 * Its use on Wikipedia does not compete with the copyright holder.
 * Its use on Wikipedia is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright to its holder.
 * Its use in the article Modesty Blaise (novel) is not redundant to the appearance of a separate first edition image as this cover art is featured in a prominent film, Pulp Fiction and this is discussed within the context of this article.
