Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free book cover true for DC Compact Comics

Description	This is the front cover art for the book DC Compact Comics. The book cover art copyright is believed to belong to the publisher or the cover artist. Comparison of ten book spines
Source	Me / my camera
Article	DC Compact Comics
Portion used	spines
Low resolution?	Sufficient resolution for illustration, but considerably lower resolution than original.
Purpose of use	Section. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. 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 at the beginning of a section discussing the work, to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. To show the book line 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?	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 different image would be misleading as to the identity of the work. I took the photo, so somebody else would have to (?)
Other information	Intellectual property owned by DC Comics.
