Does anyone have an idea of their value? I have had them since 1981, and have never seen anyone selling plates, nor their value.Trotterwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959520337432641878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-21909180218930956102013-06-14T20:02:46.869-04:002013-06-14T20:02:46.869-04:00Chua did some nice work on Batman.

Reed was writing "James Bond in a cape", while Chua was drawing "Conan in a bat-suit". His covers however, were great!

Issues 212 and 223 are a couple of fine examples, with Chan inking over Rich Buckler (under his Ron Validar alias).

His time at DC as their go-to guy for covers is woefully ignored. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.com
