Got nothing.  In case you (or anyone who is interested) wants to know how to research this kind of thing.  First check for who worked on the issue in question: https://www.comics.org/issue/261424/.  Then do a google search for the signature of anyone you think it might be.  In this case the only one who has a name starting with 'C' is scripter Chris Yambar, who's signature is very different: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Chris-Yambar-Cartoon-Bart-Simpson-Comic-Books-Signed-3x5-SKETCH-Card-C14383-/202571726733.  As for the Justice League Europe I don't think I can even make out the signature.  Made much tougher by all the shadows in the art.

 

EDIT:  My guess is that the Simpson's autograph is a cast signing.  But it's definitely not Nancy Cartwright (Bart) who the signature is next to.

Actually, that Simpson book is signed by Chris Yambar. He... doesn't sign sketches the same way he autographs books. Here's an example (at top left):

As for Justice League Europe... wow. A scribbly signature done with a black pen (that's starting to run low on ink, even) against black cover elements? That said, it is 100% not John Beatty (who signs in block letters). And while Darick Robertson has a signature scribble, it looks very different from what I can see of this. I have no idea how Gerard Jones signed (but ew anyway...). This one's likely to remain a mystery, I suspect.

It seems to be Chris who signed it from the examples I have gotten. I researched for hours and couldn't find anything on this, so glad everyone helped out. I was starting to get a bit frustrated lol

I’d say it’s 100% not Darick Robertson either.  

Looks more like something Prince would’ve changed his name to in the ‘90s.

Until you have a better answer, I'd say the Justice League Europe #31 is signed by Gerard Jones.

Here's a known example of his full signature - maybe yours is just "Jones":

Yep, I think that's it. He used a really awful pen, but I think you can see where his first name would be, over by Flash. And there's no one else remotely associated with this book that seems plausible.

So, yeah. Gerard Jones it seems to be. Ick.

I don't see the signature as being Gerard Jones, the end of the signature loops down and isn't a line as you see in many other examples.

Do you have any clue who it may be?
