Description	Original black-and-white art for Sunday color comic strip
Source	http://d1g4sq00ps2bp3.cloudfront.net/images/9181.jpg
Article	Al McWilliams
Portion used	Single example from a 1968-1974 defunct comic strip showing the first African-American starring character of a comic strips
Low resolution?	Low and greatly reduced, unsuitable to use for high quality reproduction. Following discussion with an admin, who advised me on Feb. 3, 2015 to more fully explain the rationale for the current size so that it would be acceptable under image guidelines: This 750px image appears at a much-reduced 400px on the article pages; it is at a larger size here because, when attempting to reduce it from the original upload's size (500px), the resultant 400px image became muddy and unreadable. It is still far from high-resolution, and at the current size the content is barely legible but legible enough to serve its encyclopedic purpose. Additionally, it is a Sunday strip, so cropping it would be like only showing part of a magazine cover or a movie poster. There are extremely few daily strips of this obscure comic online, and in the handful I could find, the African-American is tied up or being beaten — neither of which conveys his historic place as the first black hero of a comic strip. Showing him being victimized rather than heroic in this context also could be construed as a mildly racist commentary.
Purpose of use	To identify the characters and art style of this historically significant comic strip containing the first African-American starring character in a comic strip, as detailed in the encyclopedia article about the series' artist co-creator
Replaceable?	Irreplaceable
Other information	The image is covered by fair use because: It is a low-resolution, greatly reduced image unsuitable for high-end reproduction; The use of the image will not affect the value of the original work or limit any copyright holder's rights or ability to sell or distribute the original work; The image is used as the sole means of visual identification of the article subject's most significant and historically important work; This image is not used in misleading manner; It is at the approximate minimum size for the character of Danny Raven, the first African-American starring character in a comic strip, to be visually "read" and to have his dialog be readable.
