[edit] Fair-use rationale for Guido Crepax

Though originally copyright, the image Valentina 2.gif is considered fair use because:

The image is used for identification and critical commentary of the article subject: an iconic character creation

It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell their property in any way
Copies cannot be made to manufacture illegal copies
The image is displayed on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
No free or public domain images have been located for this item.
