Summary[edit]

Non-free media information and use rationale true for Hellboy
Description	Cover art
Source	scan from "The Wolves of St. August" (Ocnosis)
Article	Hellboy
Portion used	I have cropped the lower portion of this image so that Hellboy, the subject of the article, is in the center.
Low resolution?	I have changed the resolution to significantly lower than the original scan, but still high enough that a reader can identify the subject matter.
Purpose of use	It serves to distinguish Mike Mignola's illustrated Hellboy from the CGI film character Hellboy, and therefore makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual character associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work. Since this article concerns comic art, it is critical to have a sample of the art so readers know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely to introduce the Hellboy comic book story.
Replaceable?	All images of Hellboy are copyrighted by Mike Mignola since Hellboy is his own artistic creation. This image is from the cover art of one his comics, and therefore does not reveal any artwork that a reader would have to purchase in order to see.
