Source	http://marvelite.prohosting.com/surfer/gallery/search/graphics/ff72bg.jpg
Article	Jack Kirby
Portion used	Full cover
Low resolution?	yes: 345 x 497 pixels
Purpose of use	To illustrate the work of the article subject, a comic-book artist and a topic of public interest. Comic books are a visual medium, and displaying a representative example of a visual artist's work is necessary for a comprehensive, encyclopedic article. This example is one of Jack Kirby's signature works, and this particular cover showcases one of Kirby's best-known visual conventions, in collaboration with inker Joe Sinnott, the Kirby Krackle, an essentially impossible-to-verbalize visual image. This addition to the Kirby article was requested at Talk:Jack Kirby/GA2

Comic books are a visual medium, and displaying a representative example of a visual artist's work is necessary for a comprehensive, encyclopedic article. This example is one of Joe Sinnott's signature works: He is best known as the inker of penciler Jack Kirby's historically significant 1960s run of Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four, and this particular cover showcases one of Sinnott's best-known visual conventions, the Kirby Krackle.

Article	Kirby Krackle
Portion used	Full cover
Low resolution?	yes: 345 x 497 pixels
Purpose of use	To illustrate the pseudo-[fractal]] light illusion that is the subject of the article, and also known as "Kirby Krackle." Art is a visual medium, and this particular, long-established art convention created in comic books by Jack Kirby and perfected by penciler Kirby collaborating with inker Joe Sinnott, would be difficult if not impossible to accurately describe with text only. An example, such as this particularly clear and visually easily "read" comic-book image, is necessary for an encyclopedic understanding of this art convention.
