CBR Reports:
http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2012/05/conan-artist-ernie-chan-passes-away-at-age-71/

"Veteran artist Ernie Chan, perhaps best remembered for his work in the 1970s on Batman and Conan the Barbarian, passed away Wednesday at age 71. According to cartoonist Gerry Alanguilan, Chan recently had been diagnosed with cancer. His death follows that of fellow Filipino artist Tony DeZuniga last week."

One of the 1970s DC go-to cover artists.

I especially like this one:

I liked his work on CONAN, both over Buscema and several issues by Chaykin.

Also, when Len Wein replaced Roy Thomas as editor, and they finally stopped having Gil Kane do seemingly every freakin' cover on every book, Chan did some wonderful MASTER OF KUNG FU covers (as did Dave Coikrum).
