Proving signatures...

[Mikel-migration]

Hello all! I have an 8 book set of Elfquest graphic novels (don't have any of the info on them right now) and when I got them around 13 years ago I was told they were signed by Wendy and Richard Pini. On the copyright page of each book are two signatures, but is there any way (without professional handwriting analysis) of proving that they were actually who signed the books? Thanks for your time.

You could check with who ever you bought them from

Thanks for the quick response! I actually got the books as a gift from my grandmother, who is dead now. No idea where she got them. Back then I didn't think to ask as I was just thrilled to add them to my collection. Hmmmm...I wonder if my dad knows where she got them....

The best thing to do would be to scan or take a photo of the signature and I am sure someone on here would be able to tell if it was close.

Welcome to the boards by the way.

Here's a pic of the signatures from one of the books. Well, it'll be here if I can get this to work right....thanks for the help, and the welcome by the way!

Here are Richard and Wendy's signatures from SD a few years ago:

Thanks for the help! I also sent the pics to Richard at the Elfquest website, and he said they were legit and they've never had problems with forgery before. Well, thanks again!
