For comic characters, much the same policies apply, a clean crop of a panel or cover that depicts their face is preferred. If no such image exists, then feel free to use concept art.

* Photo Finish's story. Dynamic pose, depicting the character in her natural element. Also captures an important scene in the franchise and her final appearance, which makes it a nice touch.
