hi there i am a graffiti abstract pop artist for the past 14 years
i  am looking for old images from comics to paint on large canvasses not full strips just 1 image
like roy lichtenstein did but i dont want to rip images from comics that were still subject to copyright
i want to use images that no body cares about anymore from the 40s or 50s and paint in vibrant colors

the question is can i use a solo image from 1 of these old comics like a romantic old war image
and not get sued for using the image in my artwork i dont want to use characters who appear in multiple comics just 1 solo image like 2 people kissing onto a large canvas

anybody no the law on this subject

thanks
