i don't find anything that directly answers your question. but this is what i found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Question_mark#Origins
"The symbol is generally thought to originate from the Latin quaestio, meaning "question", which was abbreviated to Qo. The uppercase Q was written above the lowercase o, and this mark was transformed into the modern symbol. Another hypothesis about the origin of the question mark proposes that the mark originated in the 9th century, when it appeared as a point followed by the curvy bit written slanted (similar to the tilde, although the tilde was tilted more upward to the right). The point has always indicated the end of a sentence. The curved line represented the intonation pattern of a spoken question, and may be associated with a kind of early musical notation, like neumes."

Who "invented" question mark - I don't know. But Who "was" question mark, I know.
? & the Mysterians were an American rock and roll band formed in Flint, Michigan in 1962.
The group is best known for their song "96 Tears", a garage rock classic recorded in 1966 that reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. ? & the Mysterians were perhaps the first band to be described as punk rock[1], and also may be the first Latino rock group to have a general audience hit record. The group named itself after the 1957 Japanese science fiction film The Mysterians, in which aliens from the destroyed planet Mysteroid arrive to conquer Earth.
The band's frontman was Question Mark, whose real name is believed to be Rudy Martinez but who legally changed his name to ?. His eccentric behavior helped to briefly establish the group in the national consciousness. He claimed (and still claims) to be a Martian who lived with dinosaurs in a past life, and he never appears in public without sunglasses. He also claims that "voices" told him he would still be performing "96 Tears" in the year 10,000.
