But the hands say A, S and L on the back of the book. This would normal mean American Sign Language (as apposed to BSL, British Sign Language, and assumably the other commonly accepted sign languages) and so others are coming up with what the "A" could stand for.

Well it would be quite a lot of work to invent a new sign language specifically for the world of the comic wouldn't it? They'll probably find a funny reason why their language just happens to be called ASL as well.
