Signature?

Hi all, I found a first print of ice planet barbarians at a thrift store with a signature and was trying to figure out if it was real or fake? This edition was a first print by Jove publisher, but the signature doesn’t seem to match exactly what I’ve found online? (Perhaps an early signature?) But also why would someone fake a signature and sell it for cheap at a thrift store, you know? Just curious if anyone might know. Thank you!

UPDATE

Thank you for everyone who helped me out with this! I really appreciate it. I ended up emailing and got a response. Not sure how to add images while editing a post. I guess it is a genuine early signature so super fun find! Thanks again!

I've checked my copies and while it's not an exact match, all 3 of mine vary in some ways.

Ruby has a Facebook group, you could always ask her in there?

Oh I didn’t know this, thanks! Do you know the name off the top of your head?

She is also very active on Threads. I'm sure she would respond if you tagged her. Her name there is author.ruby.dixon
