Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California

It is likely that the silhouette of a well known comic character is protected under copyright law as a derivative work. However, depending on why or how you are using it, your use maybe protected as fair use.

However, the facts you presented above is limited and I cannot tell whether your use would fall under fair use. Feel free to contact me or an attorney in your area.

Goodluck,
