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)[reply]

Here is an article that goes into Marvel Job Numbers in some detail. KConWiki (talk) 17:21, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
