I want to know when an image can be uploaded and considered fair use and why.

For example: Say I upload this image on the right and categorize it under Fair Use (Comic Scenes)

There's nothing wrong doing that, right? But... it is a whole comic page. So that means that I can upload all the pages from a comic book separately and call it fair use?

No, I don't, but I don't really get why!?!

Is it because taking an entire comic, rules out any fair use claim? Can someone please explain how does that work?

- On the other hand, there's real world images. Take for example this image on the left. How does the site deals with fair use with these kind of images? I mean, Wikipedia has a way to attribute images to the author under CC giving "some rights reserved". I don't think we do that here, do we? In that case, are all real world images ruled out for use here or in any other wiki?

These are just some questions that popped in my head. I know someone out there knows the answer.
