Alphanumeric code in Marvel comics
I was reading some old Marvel comics, and I noticed that the page after the cover always had a small alphanumeric code. For example, this page from Fantastic Four #1 has the code "V-372" (located to the right, just above the last panel on the page). What were these codes for, and why are they there?

 * Pretty sure those are story assignment codes to make sure that the artists got paid properly. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 11:59, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
