This image is from a comic strip, webcomic or from the cover or interior of a comic book. The copyright for this image is most likely owned by either the publisher of the comic or the writer(s) and/or artist(s) which produced the comic in question. It is believed that
- the use of low-resolution images of the cover of a comic book to illustrate:
- the issue of the comic book in question;
- the periodical comic book series of which this issue is a part; or
- the copyrighted comic book character(s) or group(s) on the cover of the issue in question;
- or the use of low-resolution images of a single panel from a comic strip or an interior page of a comic book to illustrate:
- the scene or storyline depicted, or
- the copyrighted character(s) or group(s) depicted on the excerpted panel in question;
- where no free alternative exists or can be created,
- on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,
qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on this wiki or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Non-free content and WikiProject Comics/copyright for more information.
To the uploader:
- Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
- For example non-free use rationales, see Use rationale examples.
- This template is only for use with images of comics.
- Template:Comic cover rationale may be helpful for stating the rationale.

| Note: the template above may sometimes be partially or fully invisible. |
| Visit "Template:Non-free comic/doc" to edit its documentation if it is available. (How does this work?) |
 | This template is used on approximately 11,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Parameters
When this template is applied without a parameter,
{{Non-free comic}} ,
the page is automatically sorted into Category:Non-free comics images which has several subcategories though, regarding specific publishers or series. To sort a file into a subcategory without populating the top category "Non-free comic images", use the template with a parameter, e.g.
{{Non-free comic | Eclipse Comics images}} .
