Rima The Jungle Girl - sinature? 0

[Paul J A]

Hi. I have a beautiful copy of Rima #1 with scrawling on the front cover.  I am perplexed as to how a book could be so well preserved and yet somehow someone was allowed to mark up the cover, so I thought it may be a signature.  I acquired the book at a yard sale 30 years ago, put it in a box and recently took a look at it.  Any thoughts?  Thank you.

I'm gonna have to say that's probably just random marker marks

It could be a sig but definitely not Joe Kubert.

WTTB!

My best guess is that is either a sloppy attempt at an arrival date or a marking put on the book by a retailer for some other inventory system he had.

Thanks for the welcome and thanks for the responses!  Yeah, definitely not a Kubrick sig.  Random marks or inventory marks certainly a possibility. Unfortunately, a defaced Rima in otherwise super condition. I'm gonna hang her on a wall anyway, because the cover art is still pretty awesome looking.
