Rudy Lapick ink art, over pencils by Dan Decarlo [edit] Fair use for Rudy Lapick

Though this image, which I myself have scanned from an original drawing used in Archie's Girls, Betty and Veronica issue #159 pub. 1969, is subject to copyright by Archie Comics, its use here is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It representatively illustrates an educational article about a noted comic book artist; its inclusion in the article adds significantly to understanding it because it is a typical sample of the art produced by the subject of the article, and his work on the main character is specifically referenced in the critical commentary.

2. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality unsuitable for any commercial purpose).

3. It is not in any way replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image pertinent to the article subject, because the whole body of work for this character which the artist notably produced is copyrighted.

4. Only two panels are shown, which represents about 25% of the page, and only 4-5% of the 6-page story from which it is excerpted. The overall flow of the narrative is not disclosed by the example.

5. This one excerpt serves to illustrate an entire category of work by twp notable artists, as DeCarlo penciled it and Lapick inked it. Therefore, the principal of minimal use of such material is conscientiously upheld.
