The only mark is the store crossed out the U.S. Price with a small line of black sharpie. I may have read it once, then packed it away. You'd be hard pressed to tell it from new.
Seems like it may be worth something but I don't want to waltz into a comic store and get taken for a ride. Is there a way I can tell?

If the comic is from the 80s or 90s, and has been written on with sharpie in any way, it's likely only worth the cover price or something less. There are exceptions of course but A Punisher War Journal isn't one of them.
Marvel and DC produced so many copies of each issue during that time that most comics haven't increased in value all that significantly.
